sounds like advertisement.. what is this kobo? why should i even buy anything from a company which supports drm? 
@switchingsocial
cool nice to known :) its alway good to support 'our projects'.. very good clarification ;)
You are right to be careful, they are a large multinational corporation and may change policies in future.
But that's why non-DRM files are great, because we aren't tied to the company that sells them 👍
By the way, if anyone's interested, there's also unofficial libre firmware for Kobo eReaders:
@ajeremias
Kobo has the widest range of popular non-DRM eBooks, so being able to search through that non-DRM range is very useful. (By the way, it's the publishers that decide whether to use DRM or not.)
They also make nice eReaders that support the non-DRM ePub format. Kindle doesn't support ePub at all, probably because they don't want people sideloading books from other sources.
Basically, Kobo don't lock people down anywhere near as much as Amazon/Kindle does.
