That's right, but that adresses the "Self-publishers" system.
(Kobo, OTOH defaults to DRMs IIRC).

My contacts with Kobo people, and Immateriel (a French distributor) tell me that the "big publisher's" system is different and doesn't offer the same granularity as it does for Self-publishers, hence my comment.
(I should have made the distinction clear, sorry).
