Yes, I have found so many good and previously unknown authors by buying from smaller publishers who sell non-DRM books at reasonable prices. Penguin can go jump if they think I am going to start (1) only buying P-books because they won't sell any non-Australian authors in ebook format, (2) buying said p-books because I can't get ANY of their books from our local library. I have just blocked their newsfeed from my Facebook page and will also be blocking their emailed newsletter - I have no intention of using any of their books except the 2nd hand ones from the $1 rack at the twice yearly 2nd hand book clearance sale (and that'll really help their profits!)
