True. I will admit in the years I've been on MobileRead, very few threads have lasted that long before wandering off in new directions. |
What about the publishers that do not want DRM such a BAEN, TOR, Star Trek eBooks from Simon & Shuster, and others? KFX means that the DRM is added back in. I'm hoping that when the renewals for any publisher that wants to be DRM free will tell Amazon to go stuff KFX.
