If I remember right Tor also does DRM free ebooks, plus any ebooks from humblebundle.com are DRM free, and also Ebooks.com also has the DRM free section. O'Reilly I think does DRM free still, but only from some retailers, now that they've stopped selling directly (ebooks.com I know has stuff from them that's DRM free)

Yup, if there is anything that you do want that's in KU, either read it first before stripping DRM, or buy it out right. I personally buy it outright.
