No, I break drm so I can edit the metadata of multi-book series so they show up in the right order on my reader (And also to fix some typo's, I'm strange like that) .

Strange point, I recently bought Kim Stanley Robinsons Red Mars/Green Mars as a omnibus edition (From WH Smiths I think), I didnt find any typo's in the first book but found five in just the first few pages of the second book. Who in their right minds carefully proofs 600 pages and then gives up?
