I wasn't actually aware of the .LIT DRM status... Until a week ago, I didn't even know Microsoft had a reader format. This is the first time I've really looked at readers in a few years and the first time in depth seriously. If someone could point me to a thread on said subject, I'd be grateful. I wasn't aware that Baen did ebooks but I'll certainly explore their site later. God knows their name is common enough on my shelves already.
Kiarney: While I certainly see your point, it goes heavily against my grain that I'm buying a "lease" of any kind on anything when what its suggested I'm doing is purchasing the actual material. This goes especially for things like video games or software in which they have some sort of Big Brother system to watch you, like STEAM by Valve, like a lot of these new console "protections". If they even think you're cheating or somehow modified your Xbox, Microsoft will ban it... Your very expensive $300 machine is now unusable online... Or anyone who owns it afterward. There is no recourse.
