Is there a way to check the DRM status before purchase?

I have zero qualms removing DRM or downloading pirated version of media I have previously purchased.

I don't let those laws (corporate opinions) degrade my quality of life.

Wow it took this long to adopt epub?

Amazon adopted epub several years ago. Publishers provide files to them as plain epub files. What they sell is an epub file in a proprietary wrapper. The wrapper exists, in part, to provide the DRM. If they remove the DRM, they can remove the wrapper and give you a plan epub file.

They're still going to take note of what you're reading and possibly brand you as a non-ultra-capitalist disruptor. Amazon can get fucked.

I still buy physical media from them once a year (November) when availabilty and rest of the world can't compete price-wise. Yes I recognise the hypocrisy of said actions and minimise it as much as possible. Non-US based. Many physical media producers (e.g. Disney) no longer produce stuff for our 'region'.

Oh and will it silently edit those as well? Fuck Amazon
