DRM-free e-books are a big deal (2019)
My favorite fantasy author, Brandon Sanderson, has long been against DRM and has written a few times about the topic. (<a href="https://www.brandonsanderson.com/some-faqs-you-might-enjoy/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.brandonsanderson.com/some-faqs-you-might-enjoy/</a> for one instance.) Whenever I buy his books from anywhere (usually via Amazon, (or direct in the case of his Kickstarter books!) but I should start going direct through Tor for his other ones…) I get them DRM-free.<p>I hope more authors and publishers start releasing their stuff DRM-free too. As it stands, I have a jailbroken Kindle that I run KOReader on; I use a Calibre plugin to bust the DRM off of any book I buy for my Kindle, then port the ebook over to my device.<p>Of course, I wouldn't have to do any of that if publishers would just sell the darn things without DRM.
