You are right, but missing the point. I think when most of us ask for "DRM free" books we would include watermarked files in that category. What we oppose is DRM that doesn't allow us to read an Amazon book on a Sony reader, backup the book, or share it with a very close friend or family member. Watermarking doesn't restrict uses of the books that "should" be legal.

So what should we do, write "DRM free except for watermarks" every time?
