On: Backing Up My Kindle Ebooks (2018)

[m463]

I find that a number of Kindle books I've purchased at the beginning say:

"The author and publisher have provided this e-book to you without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied so that you can enjoy reading it on your personal devices"...

So I assume either they don't have kindle DRM, or it is ethical (possibly legally allowed) to remove the kindle DRM.

Publishers (including self-publishers) can choose whether to apply DRM to books on Amazon as part of the uploading process, and not all publishers do so. Tor and Baen, for instance, don't use DRM on any of their titles.
