If this is going to be the trend at FW, I'd be buying fewer ebooks from FW for sure.
If the blurb isn't enough for me to give a book a try, I usually go over to amazon and see if it is available there. I can then read any reviews and if it is available for Kindle I can read an excerpt.

However, I have to say most ebooks I want are drm'd. I simply strip the drm and if they're not already epubs, convert them.
