None of what you listed about me (though most if it is correct and things I've said about myself multiple times here on MR) automatically means I wouldn't be interested in your book. Just something to keep in mind going forward, when you try to decide whether someone would want to read what you writ.

Life is too short to waste time stripping DRM from a book that I would have to convert before I can read it on my preferred reading device anyway. Since you're hardly the only person writing books in this area, that makes it even less worthwhile. I'll just buy someone else's book instead, where I don't have to worry about DRM.

And just so you know, there are people who, after stripping the DRM, put the book up for free on a torrent just because they want to help out everyone else who wants to read the book but doesn't know how to strip DRM. In their minds, they're doing their fellow readers a favor, and helping you reach a wider audience.
