I am a bibliophil. I can easily spend a couple hundred dollars in a book store, and have done so many times. I often buy books online that I can not find locally, again hundreds of dollars. I also have e-reader and have lots of e-books. Not one has drm. If it has drm I won't buy it. Kris longknife, great books, but I couldn't find them without drm, so I bought paperbacks. Same thing over and over again great books with drm get bought as paperbacks, If I can find them. I spent years searching used bookstores for Dave Duncan's The Reluctant Swordsman and you would not believe how happy I was when I found out Baen was reissuing it (I bought the ebook and both sequels, even if I liked the original cover art better). There also have been times where I would hear about a story that looked interesting, but only was published as kindle only, that the only thing I remember was wasting a day or two looking for another vendor. I can't remember the title or author, because I didn't feel it was wort wasting 75 cents for a book I couldn't read. Was it one of yours? If so you lost a sale.
