True, but currently the non-drm choice of ebooks is very limited. So yeah the other other choice is pbook. So if we all buy pbooks then there is no incentive for publishers to change or to move towards removing drm. It maintains the status quo. Better to try and convince the publishers to adopt new ways, perhaps by continuing to complain and force sellers and publishers to help when there are problems as well as telling them directly as often as possible!
