I am outraged and disgusted by your behaviour in this thread.
You were told that Amazon abandoned the DRMed ebooks that it sold before the Kindle came along. You said you would go and research it.

I did try to research it. Unfortunately, Amazon's change provoked so little reaction that I was unable to figure out what they did, exactly.
I guess that everyone was so happy with the new dispensation that they pretty much forgot all about the difficulties associated with abandoning the old regime-kind of like what happened when Apple went from OSX 9 to OSX 10, with no backward compatibility.
Elfmark set me straight, without the outrage. Maybe you might want to follow her example.
What's interesting is that the anti DRM folk use such overheated language in talking about DRM changes that you would think that there would be people marching in the streets over it. In fact, most folks don't know and don't care about any of this stuff. They would probably care, though, if their favorite best selling authors stopped writing novels because they could make more money doing something where their IP rights were protected.
