Hey, it matters not to me, enjoy your DRM.....

In 20 years the formats for ebooks will be completely different than they are now. Many of the ebook stores will be long gone, and no one knows who will remain and what the format will be. With your DRM books, you cannot convert them. You can only read them on devices that are made for that format, and DRM scheme.

I remove DRM from all books. I can put them on any device I choose. I can convert them to any format. In 20 years I can put my books on the latest device and in the latest format.

I certainly do not wish to argue with you, I have just been around long enough to see beyond the next few years. Reel to reel tapes, 78 rpm records, and 8-tracks are great. But today it's hard to find something to play them on. Digital (without DRM) can last a lifetime and beyond.
