> He put years into making this book, you want to read it ("love"), but you won't buy it because he wants to protect his labor of love? I have ethical principles. And one of them is to avoid buying DRMed stuff - even if I loved to read it. > Buy the paperback. I just did. If you would really and truly "love" to read it, then buy it. In former days when I simply had no money, I pirated movies. Now I have sufficient money to buy a Bluray disc. But I won't (but won't pirate either). Since I will strongly avoid buying DRMed stuff and don't want to finance companies who DRM their products. If they put out DRMed stuff, they don't want me as a customer and don't want my money - a clear message to me that I respect as a potential customer.
