I agree completely. I don't like the fact that Amazon locks everyone else out from buying their books - I will download free books from Amazon, but I refuse to give them any money for ebooks even though I can remove the DRM and reformat.

I looked at his books on Amazon, and it looks like at least they are mobi and not topaz.
