You might even generate a little commentary in the print press and blogosphere which wouldn't hurt sales.

Kobo would also welcome your books without DRM if they are being provided directly rather than through Smashwords. (I do not know details of the Smashwords distribution deal.)
Actually, my backlist ebooks are already on Kobo, via Smashwords. Well, four out of the twelve are; not quite sure what the hold-up is with the others. And of course they're available DRM-free from Smashwords.

I'm not sure what you mean by adding a preface. Are you saying I should say something about DRM in the preface?
