It's hard to support non-DRM alternatives when we can't recognize them. It's hard to tell people to not buy DRM ebooks if we can't even tell them apart. Getting this message through to book buyers -- and perhaps even to ebook retailers -- seems like a critical first step.
Well getting the message to buyers is preaching to the converted. (See how this thread has been avoided less it does the usual run away DRM is bad posts which we haven't had this month. Yet)
Woops, spoke too soon. Just came across a DRM thread going ballistic as usual.

Retailers only provide what publishers and authors request. My authors have begrudgingly let me put 80% of their books online DRM free but they insist on DRM for the best sellers.
Authors and publishers are your targets because they are the ones who are requesting DRM. I think Sony is the only store that doesn't give you a choice to be DRM free.
