True. But, for the record, I make my book available on my own website in multiple formats with no DRM. If there's a format I missed that someone wants, I'll go figure out how to convert it for them.

But, you're right for people who only see my stuff on Amazon and never visit my website. So, yeah, I'd prefer that Amazon took out the DRM. I don't think they'll listen to me though... (at least not until I start selling a LOT more books!).
