When I first began listening to audiobooks, 12 or so years ago, library downloads used the wma format, which I think had DRM protection; then they switched to unprotected mp3 files. I wonder what the reason is now for trying to impose a restriction again. Are publishers forcing this change? I can't see how libraries benefit, but I can see how publishers would; I will potentially be buying more books, perhaps again picking up Audible for a year.

I don't like the idea of my reading habits being more easily tracked, either, though I guess my check-outs alone provide plenty of information.
