In my corner of Europe I've been buying watermarked books for the past 3 years if not more. I get both formats epub and mobi for the price of one ebook so I can throw it at either my Kindle or Kobo as is and don't even have to open calibre. IF I use calibre these days is to tweak the layout. Been forgetting what DRM actually is. I don't have to circumvent anything, I legally buy and I know that any future reader capable of reading mobi or epub will read my files in the future too. So, in my particular case Kindle ecosystem is as far as could be for the best money can buy. And the stores I buy from are the least prohibitive I could imagine. Just my three eurocents.
