I do quite a bit of reading like most here on this forum. I read all the classical and semi classical in ebook format and sometimes want to read something a bit modern. For example Ahdaf Soueif. I then always look into inkmesh and bookbutler. Invariably the paperback both used and new is loads cheaper than the ebook and has no DRM. So I buy the paperback!

I think it might be a good idea to start a listing on mobileread of sites and authors who publish with no DRM and are independent. Smashwords and Orr books springs to mind. Maybe there is such a listing.

I definitely would exclude amazon from the list as it locks the reader into one particular format and applies DRM!!!!!!
