Some posts of note:

- Kobo will eventually do it too!

- People complaining the article is "misleading" or "rage bait"

- People defending DRM (???)

- People defending the "you only buy a license" thing (???)



Sigh.

Welcome to my world. I swear I want to just fight the air sometimes! So many think that DRM actually stops piracy. You should’ve seen the asinine comments that were made when we found out D&T was being removed. People said that Amazon cares about authors and that’s why D&T has had to be removed. The mental gymnastics people performed to justify Amazon being anti-consumer was crazy work.
