Please note that Amazon does not supply any quibbling, just that at the publisher's request, this ebook is being supplied without DRM.

Perhaps you could let us know how a line stating that at the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM could be construed as suggesting that supplying a DRMmed version of the ebook is okay?

So you would be okay if you bought a car that stated in the advertising that it came with a "Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission" and it was delivered with a 4 speed manual transmission? After all, you ordered in slate blue rather than white.
I'm gratified you found my post so interesting but you are overdoing things.
