Me too.
If only there was some convenient way of making a publisher understand that ebook sales are small
because of DRM worries.
Publishers call readers thieves if we break the DRM in order to shift formats (e.g. if we buy new devices). But they aren't exactly honest and open either. They advertise ebooks for
sale, when a very restrictive
licence is all that it offered.
Meanwhile, I'm buying most of my contemporay literature in treeware format. They probably misread that as a preference for paper.
