The same. I only buy DRM-free epubs on Gumroad, Humble Bundle and directly, also pirate some which are not available this way. If I really were to buy something I qould unDRM it. If I found out I can't unDRM it I wouldn't pay. Needless to say I only buy games at GOG.com.

Manning is another publisher without DRM. I used to buy Oreilly books without DRM, but they’re subscription only but some books do show up on humble bundle from time to time.

Manning does put a “licensed to my_email” on the pages of the digital copies but it’s not onerous.
