They only 'announced' it to me via a pop-up message when I D&T'd a book I'd bought earlier this week. If I hadn't done that before February 26th I wouldn't have known of this from Amazon. (I don't purchase books every week.)

YouTube did tuck a vid into my feed about this very thing, though. Some guy on a channel I'd never heard of that's dedicated to a genre I care nothing about is fairly irritated. He's got over 800K views and 44K likes on something posted a few days ago.

Most people may not care about DRM removal, but the ability to easily make backups is perhaps more relevant.
