gerraldo - what do you exactly mean: Mobipocket eBooks or eBooks in prc format?

With "Mobipocket eBooks" I'm referring to those titles out of the eBookBase database from Mobipocket. And those are usually with DRM. beam sure does have hundreds of titles in prc format, just none with DRM anymore.

I'm one of the publishers selling prc without DRM on beam, and I could easily notice which files were missing - most of the major publishers, who all rely on DRM. And even though there may be quite some small print publishers distributing their titles in non-DRM prc, their decision won't have much of an impact on a larger scale.
