I think that enough time has gone by to decide this issue.

Going DRM-free has clearly not has an adverse effect on Tor's ebook sales. If stonetools returns to MobileRead, I hope he will now change his position on DRM.

Hey, stonetools, are you there?

Maybe you should PM stonetools this because he's not been here since February 2013.
