I'm contemplating whether to buy it even though it is in Topaz format but don't like the thought that so far Topaz drm is not broken. Other options are to: a - wait; b - buy paperback; c - library. I'm thinking c - library is going to be the winner.

Just curious if others avoid Topaz or not.
Avoid. My one adventure with Topaz from St. Martins Press caused my Kindle to freeze, so I'll use other options (including audiobook versions) for any books I really want.
