"Buying ePUB does not guarantee no DRM" This is a very good point. It matters where you buy. I personally publish on SmashWords.com because they explicitly do not use DRM, and they will automatically convert your story into a wide variety of formats and even list it on sites like Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, and iTunes. Note that when sold from these other sites, DRM may be added. I like not having DRM because people who buy my works can share it with whomever they please (just like a 'real' book). I have seen my book show up on piracy sites, so it is available to those who aren't going to pay for it anyway. I don't think people who pay for it should be punished by being locked down just because they chose to actually supported me. Just my 2 cents.
