I already had to re-pay books, having made a screw up with digital edition.

It's a relief when i see the book i want to buy have no DRM. I long for the day there is no DRM anymore, and buying a book become what it always should have have bean : easy and painless.

You readers are not thief, trust them ! Don't restrict their book because they where honest enough to pay you.Remember, pirates have no such problem with activation and all this mess.

The only reason i accept buying books with DRM is the un-drm tools, so I can feel safe that the book I paid for will be mine to keep forever.
To be clear: I hear that you are concerned, and I know there is a concern out there--but no one who has ever purchased books of mine has ever written and asked about DRM, asked where to buy DRM-Free versions, etc. When I have asked directly, VERY few people even know what it is. That is not to say I am unaware some readers care. My point was more that I think most readers are almost completely unaware of DRM and don't care about it.
