Does this seem equitable to you?
Please not also, if there turns out to be some rule on this forum against what I propose, I will have to retract the proposal.

Offer accepted, I messaged you separately. I tried to see if Amazon had a tip jar, I was still willing to pay more than the $0.99. Let me know if they do.
I think that's a fair offer, the logic behind the transaction is that I pay you for your work, and while respecting your copyright like I would any author you don't exercise control over it on my devices.
DRM is wrong, but so is the massive infringement posed by torrenting and piracy. The draconian "cures" for torrenting are worse than the piracy. Amazon's done a great job in making their music DRM free and I buy there frequently, lowering the incentive to pirate would be a great start for content industries.
I appreciate your participating in the open market, and look forward to reading your book on my DRM-free Pocketbook Reader.
