I had to think about this for a while before I responded to this...I guess my thinking was that expanding the range of file formats that BookMaster is able to read (ie adding DRM'd epubs) would have increased and improved market availability. I wouldn't necessarily assume that the majority of people who read ebooks only read non-DRM'd material.

Just saying...BookMaster developers will do what works best for them as a business, and that's fine. I respect that decision.
When I said "3. Maplepop needs to hear more voices...", it was addressed to everyone who might be a reader of this thread that I would like to hear voices from those who want to second 49Kat's request.

But so far, no one has seconded. Is this is a sign of not having sufficient market demand of this feature? Moreover, as others have also pointed out, Adobe's DRM scheme licensing is costly too.

49Kat, thank you for requesting this feature here. But without anyone else seconds, I think it will sit there as a low priority item on our nice-to-have feature list.
