i had thought that amazon made all the DRM decisions, as there have been instances of Kindle editions having DRM despite the author expressing a wish for the book to be DRM free - and of slightly polished/annotated versions
of public domain stuff appearing in DRM kindle formats.
but this thread is about a cookery book!. I suppose a publisher could decide we only want this sold with the full size full colour pictures of the scrumptious food, not shrunk down onto small screens or into less appetising greyscale e-ink images.
