Even though your question might have the grounds of its motivation in your own interests I think the responses would be of wider interest - so, I say go ahead and post.

Just for the record. I never buy anything from the Sony store because that would require me to install their crap software, which I'm not willing to do - and I'd never buy a DRM'd book!
Thanks for the feedback! Buddy of mine tried installing the software. Not sure what happened but his post telling me about it was full of non-printable characters.

Any idea where I should post such a poll? General forum? I'm very curious about where people do most of their shopping. I think smashwords is starting to pick up more shoppers (could be my very active imagination) and I still buy a lot of stuff at Amazon (it's not all DRM'd even though most of it is!) I buy a lot of indie authors though and most of them don't select to have DRM added.

If there's a good spot that you know of, let me know. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll design some sort of trick question poll...
