DRM-free books have worked great. People who want to support me with a purchase support me. People who do not want to support me with a purchase will not be dissuaded by DRM. DRM is basically security theater for electronic files.
@scalzi.com Just got a Kobo, finding it tough to source DRM-free books. Noticed you offer them—curious how that’s worked out for you economically as an author? I did buy "When the Moon hits your Eye" and am looking forward to reading it.

sometimes when i'm hating on DRM people ask why i still use steam. and that's mostly because steam DRM is more of a suggestion, if the game uses it at all (picrel). maybe that makes me a fake DRM hater but whatever

Buy from Itch, the ebooks come DRM-free. You can also remove DRM from your kindle books though.

I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

second most self defeating is anti-DRM ebooks. i probably just won't buy a book if i can't easily read it in the app of my choice and it's easier to pirate an epub than it is to remove its adobe DRM garbage
