That means, a ridiculous % for sure below the 10% mobipocket gets. So, I , as a publisher, want to stimulate my client to get another version (so I get more money).
If you went without DRM, you could charge less and more people might then purchase your eBooks because the prices would be lower. DRM does nothing but get in the way and raise costs.
