Last time, I spent some time searching for how to remove DRM off of these, so I could buy them and use them easily on my devices.

I discovered that the full Pratchett book collection, DRM free, is significantly easier to find.

But I'm sure that DRM is increasing Kobo's sales in some kind of fancy CEO-logic way that I missed.

kobo is usually one of the better places to buy drm free ebooks, so this is probably on harper collins

Also DRMed, at least they were last time. Which is unusual for Humble. Thankfully they offer the tech book bundles DRM-free.

Oh, really? Thanks for the heads-up.

The Kobo thing and not being PDFs is annoying, but as a student with not much disposable income, this is awesome!
