I see that you have multiple devices; wouldn't it be better to own a non-DRM version of that book, so you could read it on all of them?

Buying through Amazon means they have control of your books folder, and can remove content at any time (yes, I know it's been a while since they last did it, but the possibility is always there).

That's why we designed Fifobooks.com the way we did.

I do not share your single-mindedness for DRM-less devices or ebooks.

I simply buy what I want and when it is available. Then I read it.

I like to find the cheapest price, and then I strip the DRM out of it to put on my devices that accept that format. Most often, however, I do NOT strip the DRM: I just read the book.

So, I will continue to buy from whomever sells an ebook that I wish to read - be it from Amazon or from "Ebookieuses-R-Us." (The latter does not exist.)

You need not be surprised by my attitude; but if you wish to be surprised, then that is your decision, of course and I will not try to keep you from feeling that way. (I do not wish to tell you how to feel, as I am assuming your feelings are real - just as are my feelings about certain issues.)

All the above sentences are NOT said with any kind of sarcasm.

I wish you success with Fifobooks.
