I've cancelled my pre-orders AND returned the books I still could because they are DRMd (and I still can't figure out the NoDRM install...)

Many authors are entrenched in Amazon for whatever reason (I'm assuming financially) and refuse to sell anywhere else. I'm in a lot of author's reader groups (generally the only way to get news of upcoming releases), any time someone asks if they can get their books anywhere but Amazon or if they have plans to sell out of the 'zon system, the answer is usually a resounding "No!". There are a few who do, and I guess that's where I'll buy now.

I use Moon+Pro to read my books, but they don't support anything that's DRmd. I'd HAVE to use a Kindle app to read the new system since we don't own an eink Kindle.
