Cool thing coming down the pipe on Amazon:
"Starting January 20, 2026, Amazon will make it easier for readers to enjoy content they have purchased from the Kindle store across a wider range of devices and applications by allowing new titles published without Digital Rights Management (DRM) to be downloaded in EPUB and PDF format. If you take no action, the DRM-status of your previously published titles will not change but the EPUB and PDF downloads will not be enabled for existing DRM-free titles. If you want to allow reader downloads for these titles, follow the directions below on or after December 9, and select the option not to apply DRM."
Meaning that for publishers like me who don't use DRM, people who buy my book will be able to download the DRM-free file without jumping through any hoops.
I've already gone in and made the change that will allow downloads when they come online.
