Amazon cheats the users because when an eBook is supposed to come without DRM, they add DRM to KFX eBooks. For example, Tor has removed DRM. But with KFX, Amazon has added DRM back.
So I don't see an issue removing DRM. Also, when Tor first went DRM free, the first eBook was
Redshirts by John Scalzi. Botj Scalzi and Tor said it was OK to remove the DRM. Scalzi even posted a link to the DeDRM plugin.
So why is Amazon going against the wishes of the publisher and/or author?
If Amazon can ignore the fact that some eBooks should be DRM free, we can ignore anything Amazon says about not removing DRM.
