Amazon to allow downloads of DRM free books

[JSWolf]

@rpresser please never use an image host and especially don't ever use imgr. imgr does not work in the UK and it's constantly over capacity. I'm not able to see your image because imgr is over capacity..

Edit your post, go to advanced settings and attach your image instead. Remove the link that doesn't work most of the time. Then use the paperclip to post a thumbnail and all will be well.

Crappy of Amazon to make even the self-publisher with one older book have to set as DRM-free again. Better to get books direct or from places that actually respect the publishers intention to sell DRM-free.

MobileRead does something to the url that breaks it - I sent a screenshot to someone in PM and had to change it to a link

It's still better to click on "Manage Attachments' -> browse for file -> select file -> open -> upload
which is just as easy or easier than uploading to some random spyware infested third party site and make a link that will eventually expire and may have numerous problems that JSWolf has pointed out many times before.

I apologize for the error. I have now done as you requested to the original post. It's attached here as well.

It'd be nice if the prominent "insert image" button could mention that attaching is a better idea....

The problem is that imgr doesn't work in the UK and a lot of the time, it's overloaded. So for a lot of people, there's no way to see the image. The other problem with image hosts is that the images expire. So even if they are viable, eventually, they won't be. This is why attacking works because the images are visible and they don't expire.
