Sadly, the DRM-free versions of his books seem to only be available on US stores. I tried to buy The Stormlight Archive from Australia but could only find DRM'ed copies, probably because of international publishing deals.
Still, I wish more authors would follow. DRM is a plague.
- SenAnder 3y ago> seem to only be available on US stores Surely the many "free trade" agreements Australia has entered mean you can use US stores as much as you please? ;)
- pasc1878 3y agoNot in publishing publishers have different contracts in North America and the Commonwealth and won't seel under one contract in the other region. Publishers have forced Amazon et al to enforce this.
- Gazoche 3y agoI actually tried, but it didn't work. Barnes&Noble just wouldn't let me place an order (but still let me create an account on the US store, weirdly).
- stilley2 3y agoFor what it's worth Canadian Amazon also has them DRM free
- pasc1878 3y agoIt is not the author who decised on DRM or not - it is the publisher. E<G all TOR or Baen books are DRM free. Unfortunnately in the paper world there are separate North American and CommonWealth contracts. Many publishers do only one thus many books have different publishers in the two regions. These two contracts could have one with DRM and one without.
