I never ever used DRM infested books on my devices. The first thing I always do when I buy a new book is cleaning it

Yes, and that's why I stopped downloading DRM'd epub books. The last time I wanted to download a book, I tried logging in into my Adobo account. Password incorrect. Ok, let's reset the password then. Email sent. A day later: still no email. Ok, probably used my other email account. A day later, still no email. Hmm, I only use one of the two email accounts. Ok, let's try to make a new account then. Email address already in use. Twice.

I ended up making a third account, downloaded the book, cleaned the DRM (immediately, I know how the software works) and completely ignored Adobe DRM infested books ever since. Unless it's a social DRM, I'll look at Amazon. If it's not there, I simply won't buy it. Plenty of other books to go around
