The mobi, and Kf8 formats of Tor books will indeed be completely DRM-free. Any books from Tor distributed in the KFX format, however, would be limited to Kindle devices only (any Kindle device) by Amazon's standard KFX encryption. Which in my opinion, goes against Tor's stated reasons for going DRM-free in the first place. I'd actually love to see Tor make a stand on this very issue. Perhaps they already have, and there are no Tor books being distributed in the KFX format. Who's to know?
