Some sources of books available in my sig. line .... ( DRM stinks, but can be removed :coughs: ).
Not all purchased books carry DRM, the multiple-format range at fictionwise (for example).

you are correct, DRM = encryption

It's not the end of the World, just a long road to travel, via a mountain, two streams and an avalanche crossing. You can ( I am told) download from Amazon to the "kindle-for-pc" software [similarly for others]
and take the resultant books 'apart' and read them on other readers.

Not all of us have a kindle/iPad etc....
