Title from the article. Interesting article, with some good words from our DRM-free favorite Cory Doctorow.

As someone with a Kobo, Amazon's DRM is really annoying especially since a number of stories I read on sites like Royal Road publish e-books only on Amazon.

Agreed, I used to be able to pull them off and redo the DRM file into Epub, but as of this year, its not possible. Its prevented me from legally getting many authors I love on Royal Road.

I wish they would have partnered up with Baen or some other entity than Amazon.
