I suppose there's a segment of the market who's more concerned with ebook politics than the actual literature they contain. Still, I'm pretty sure authors have other things they need to consider when working out how to get the best deal for their work.

Thank you both for applying common sense to this issue.

Either buy the books or find someone else to buy from, but applying excuses to JUSTIFY illegal downloading is just stupid.

I'm sure she will have other customers willing to buy her books regardless of drm or not. I doubt you will be missed.
