Thanks VERY much for that tip - I'll be sure to keep an eye on it.
I was aware of webscription.net, but not a member yet. Fixed now.

While I have no ethical problem with that, I choose not to do it because I don't want to financially support DRM for books. My money is going Baen's way already and I'm checking out some of the other sources.
I'm sometimes tempted to "acquire" a full library by some author or another and just send them a cheque ;-) but I'd rather publishers see my (small) impact on the stats. If everybody's happy to download DRM'd stuff and crack it, publishers will keep on doing it. They ignore the evidence it doesn't work now, and I doubt that'll change.
