I worded it badly. It's as you said. In my experience if I want to buy a given X book it's almost certain that I will not be able to purchase it in a non-DRM format. Because DRM became de facto in the industry and only a small share of titles are available to purchase without it.

Didn't now Amazon also sold non-DRM. I guess the authors of the books that I was enticed to buy opted for it.

> Tor Books, the biggest sf/fantasy publisher, doesn't use DRM, either.

Have read short stories published there. Content generally is good and innovative.
