??? I said nothing other than that your bias is completely uninteresting and merely shows that YOU don't like them. That was not, in fact, my quote at all.
(By coincidence, I happen to like his books. But I would and do jump to the defense of books that I don't like, as well. For instance,
HERE. In other words, it is not personal. Well, the book itself isn't personal, but I take your vitriol personally,
on principal.)

I am interested in the topic and would be grateful for a link or two saying how much more profit Tor is making by saving the Adobe Fee. Are most of their purchaser using epub? Do they make an equivalent amount by not using Amazon DRM?
Thanks in advance for the info.

22¢ per sale, according to this link:

That is 22¢ less profit per sale, when the margin for books is apparently sending the publishers into (fake) anxiety attacks regardless.
