#23My own novel, The Immortal Remains, is DRM-free on Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Google, and other platforms (maybe Apple as well, I'm not sure). Other authors, such as Cory Doctorow, sell their books DRM-free as well.

#24all books are DRM-free if you download them from the right place ;)
Yes, but from some of those places the authors receive no compensation.

#25I don't see any mention here of books sold by Tor. All their books are DRM-free.
Can one buy Tor books without going through Amazon? I had trouble doing that last I tried.
At least some Tor.com ebooks are available DRM-free through Amazon. Honor Of The Queen, 2nd in the Honor Harrington Series, specifically says it's sold without DRM on Amazon.

#27> DRM-free classics that are out of copyright. I started down this road with a few books about two years ago, and I have so many now on my list to read that I hardly ever get to reading a modern book. I read a lot from Standard Ebooks. But one thing to keep in mind with them- they do edit the books to make changes for readability. Not necessarily a big deal, but something to know.
Curious: edit for readability in what way? Surely just layout stuff, not changing the content of the books?

I believe they’d change the spelling of a word if it’s archaic and obscure in the original text.
