Could you post a screenshot? I’m deciding between the physical and digital versions and have never seen a watermark in an e-book before.

I’m sure this is software related, and I’m on the iPadOS 16 beta, so it may be less of an issue for others. On my phone it folds into the header and truncates, but on the iPad it is super obnoxious.

Man, is that obnoxious. Yet another example of a DRM effort that will probably inspire more piracy.

I'll buy an ebook but read a copy from LibGen because that version doesn't have my email address as the first sentence of every page. It's hard to read books instead of doing something more entertaining, this minor annoyance doesn't help.

I would honestly just rather have the drm than that watermark. Dark pattern success?
