To which he responded that he understands completely, and refunded the $8 or so.
My impression was, that he knew why I didn't want it, and this was not the first time he had heard this.
The bottom line is, I will in all likelihood replace my readers within the next year, and it may not be with an Amazon device. I'd like to keep the titles I purchased, which is not so much to ask, IMO.

The question is, did he "Know" that you cared about DRM rippability or did he "know" that you disliked how topaz files can be incredibly slow and poorly rendered on the devices? There's more than one reason to dislike topaz.
Though to be truthful, I've got one topaz book so far and I just kept it because there's no other digital version of it around. At least, there wasn't in the last few months that I checked. It's "The Boy Detective Fails" but Joe Meno. A fantastic book. I believe it uses topaz solely to use a couple custom fonts in a few specific places but overall, I noticed no slowness or any other odd problems. I thoroughly enjoyed the digital read. I do wish I could rip it to be used in other devices in the future, but
c'est la vie.
