You're right. I'm going along with DRM by putting up with it, and it's not something I feel good about, and something that bothers me. I'm doing it because it's a complex situation, especially for the authors involved, many of which aren't in a position to stick up "for the cause". I understand you want me to make strategic decisions to bring about change faster, but I'm concerned about the collateral damage. It's tricky.
I have actually tried to give preferential treatment to DRM-free options where available, and bought some DRM-free books that I might not have otherwise, as well as advertised them to peers and generally tried to awareness of the topic and the benefits of unencumbered book files.
That's the trade-off I'm currently at. It's not a desirable one and I have great respect for your stance, but it's what I feel is best under the circumstances.
