I learned my lesson when Agency Pricing arrived and I lost access to over two thirds of the ebooks in my Diesel library due to a sudden application of geo restrictions.
Everything is downloaded and DRM removed now as a matter of course. |

In fairness to Amazon, when they stopped selling PDF books, they gave people something like a year's notice, so nobody could reasonably claim to have been caught unaware by the move.

Actually, I was caught unaware. At the time, I was on active duty, and was gone for the better part of 9 months on a duty posting to a very northerly and remote location, with very little comms around.
Came back to find all my previous Amazon purchases were gone. I swore then that I would never buy a book that I can't remove DRM from. Cheers Art |
