When I go back to the EDIT TITLE area the "Do you want DRM" button is greyed out.

I thought uploading it again might work but it didn't. Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. we don't need another thread about the pros and cons of DRM.
i suggest that your ask your authors to contact dana stabenow (author of the edgar winning kate shugak mysteries and other novels) at her website or on facebook. on her website she sells her books in non drm-contaminated mobis and epubs even though amazon has them as drm-contaminated azws (probably b&n and nook do so as drm-contaminated epubs as well).
