- michaelmrose 7y agoHave you considered that maybe you shouldn't be buying DRM content in the first place? If you are going to spend money buy a physical book and consider passing it on after you have read it if you don't want to reread or refer to later.
- captn3m0 7y agoSometimes I don’t want a physical copy because it is: 1. unavailable in my country at a reasonable price 2. Something I’d rather read while travelling. And often, Kindle e-books are the only ones that are priced by region. I try to buy from DRM free stores wherever possible, but it isn’t always doable.
- michaelmrose 7y agoMaybe piracy would be more acceptable? You could always mail the author the cost of the ebook if he doesn't have an online method to accept donations.
- captn3m0 7y agoI've done that in the past, but a lot of authors have rightful objections to this, since these direct payments to authors don't reach publishers, editors, and many other people who make the book happen.
- skrowl 7y agoUnfortunately, many books are ONLY available from stores that still use DRM. Physical books are much less convenient in that I can't carry 50 of them around in my pocket like I can with books on my phone.
