Nothing is more obsolete than a DRM system that doesn't support current software or any reader at all. I can still read them on my Pilot, but I've moved on. As lessons go, it wasn't that expensive. Thank Baen.

I'll stumble on and fill in the missing pieces someday.
I downloaded them, removed the DRM and moved on. No books lost, simply the ability to re-download them.


But a good reason to kill DRM: DRM is making us all into felons, simply because we like to listen to music or read books, on devices we decide.
