It's worth pointing out here that Tor (which is a barnacle on Macmillan-US, which in turn is a tentacle of the great publishing kraken Holtzbrinck) had an arrangement in place with Baen's Webscriptions arm to sell Tor's books, multi-format and DRM-free (although at a slightly higher price point) in April of 2006. The deal was killed on the orders of upper-level management within days of going live, and four years later many of the books Tor publishes aren't legally or commercially available in electronic form.
