Wow! I was just explaining to a friend of mine how DRM'ed ebooks are just like the publisher shooting themselves in the foot, since you can't convert the ebooks to other formats to be read on other devices, and how DRM pretty much emans "not accessible" anyway, if you use a screen reader. So again, piratical means become the only way to access the media you want, as people find ways to crack formats like Kindle just so they read their own books on other devices. But hey! I actually found my first example of a Daisy format ebook on archive.org which is actually accessible, and mostly complete, except for a few pages of the table of contents. Check it out, it's _The Omnibus of Crime_, edited by Dorothy Sayers, with a still-very-relevant introductory essay on the overlap of crime fiction and horror, and how crime fiction goes back tothe Old Testament.
