Just a quick post to say hello. (I'm at Cape Canaveral for the Nebulas, and watched the shuttle Atlantis lift off yesterday--
fantastic.) I just did a quick fly through the comments since I left, and I'll let most of them pass for the moment. But I will affirm what one person said on my behalf: it was not my wish for
Sunborn to be published with DRM, and I had been given assurances that the publisher was trying to work out a DRM-free distribution deal. But in the end, that failed and the book came out with DRM in all stores. (It was driven mostly by Kindle, I was told; Kindle controls most of the sales, and Kindle requires DRM.) I'm not happy about it, but that's the story.
That said, while I also hate DRM on books I buy, I wouldn't personally
not buy a book because of it. Maybe I remove the DRM and maybe I don't...
But I buy books based on whether or not I want them, and find the price acceptable.
Bye now. I probably won't check back in for a few more days.
