Ah, another fine example on why to remove DRM. Finding a book can be very hard: I have series that I had to split over three (!) stores, because one store only had books 1 and 3, another store had 3 and 4, and the last store had 1, 2 and 5.
Done with book 1? Then I want to read book 2. Crap... Which store did I buy that in? Hm...
Downloading the books and removing the DRM allows me to order these books in Calibre for easy retrieval and backup. It takes only seconds.
Would I *NEED* to do it? No.
But... do you also throw all of your tools into a random drawer, or stash your books in your bookcases in every which way; upside down, with the spine to the back, and so on, without any order in it? Do you throw your 600 DVD's into a random closet?
I don't. I keep things organized; and with digital stuf even more so, because it's much easier to lose than physical stuff if you don't organize it in some way.
Who has at some time selected a bunch of sorted files, deleting everything, and then coming to the conclusion that inadvertently, a file that should NOT have been deleted was in that row, somehow, unexpectedly? Come on, everyone has had that happen at one time.
