I made the decision pretty early last night. Migraine or not, most problems are solvable by thinking, and this one was. Logic is lovely that way. And my husband is the best sounding board on the planet, because he is brilliant at asking questions that allow me to cut through to what is essential in any situation.

The DRM discussion turned out to be far more depressing than I had anticipated. I used to buy print books I really wanted in hardcover, then buy a paperback “reader’s copy” of those I wanted to reread so that I wouldn’t screw up my hardcover.
