I started buying from Angry Robot a while back because they sent me free DRM-free epubs to get me hooked on their authors. I've been buying from them ever since, and that's the only reason I discovered that Chuck Wendig's books are amazing. Sure, I've got to pay in GBP instead of USD, but this is the internet and with digital delivery, that kind of stuff doesn't matter.

Unfortunately, everyone else discovered that Chuck was good, so he moved to a big publisher and I assume they required him to go with DRM. I can no longer find his books unencumbered.

tl;dr: There are great non-DRM publishers, and they might have great books. It is in our interest to support them.
