If you do not own a Kindle or Fire device then obtaining a DRM-free copy can be difficult. Non-Kindle owners do not have the download option on Amazon's website. And for most books, DRM protected KFX format is used by Amazon for over the air delivery to apps and devices. That applies even to books published by Tor and Baen.
I use an old version of Kindle for PC that downloads .azw instead of KFX. Are those files DRM-free? (I've never checked, because even when I do purchase what should be a DRM-free book from Amazon, I import it to Calibre and convert to ePub before I ever open the file. So even if it had DRM, the tools work their magic before I'm involved.)
