It depends on the publisher whether or not DRM is included.

  Tor[1] doesn't use DRM. I think it's worth calling out publishers that aren't hostile to readers. Are there others? [1]: https://www.tor.com/2012/07/20/torforge-e-books-are-now-drm-free/ https://www.tor.com/2012/07/20/torforge-e-books-are-now-drm-...

    Baen [1] is another to mind that imprint-wide believes that DRM is a waste of time. As another poster pointed out it is interesting that it is mostly sci-fi imprints leading the vanguard of DRM free, in terms of well known commercial publishers.

    Baen Books as well, regardless of where you buy them. Typically, my process is: - If the ebook is available DRM-free, buy that (this is easiest for scifi, <3 Tor/Baen) - Else, if I can find a reasonably-priced physical copy, buy that (especially from an indie bookseller) - Else, pirate the ebook
