But giving people a DRM-free option is really good too.Stephen Theakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394493689032839157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285367827446194139.post-86075936489335119942010-10-17T22:44:04.994+01:002010-10-17T22:44:04.994+01:00It is DRM free - we went for Epub because Kindle s...It is DRM free - we went for Epub because Kindle seems to be a bit restrctive?Stuart Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232782649771676547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285367827446194139.post-55237062412211623652010-10-17T07:29:34.567+01:002010-10-17T07:29:34.567+01:00Good move!
