title_body: Are Tor Ebooks DRM Free? Tor has made a few statements in the past about going DRM Free. 
  Does that carry through to downstream retailers?
  
  If I buy a Tor book on Amazon (marketed as a Kindle book) or on Barnes and Noble (marketed it as a Nook book), can I be confident that it will have no DRM? 
  I know that I can use it on any device (in my case Sony Reader).
  
  Does it depend on country?
  Is there anything else I should consider?
  
  I am having real trouble finding sites that clearly state: We are selling a DRM free Epub. Most use terms like Nook book and Kindle book etc. I found one site that was clear, and they don't sell to my country.
upvoted_answer: Go to the original statement. This includes
  
  
    Tom Doherty Associates, publishers of Tor and Forge, is pleased to announce that all of their ebooks are now available DRM-free from Amazon, B&amp;N, Apple, Kobo, Google, and most other major ebook retailers.
  
  
  and
  
  
    The new DRM-free editions are available from the same retailers that have sold Tor e-books in the past. In addition, the company expects to begin selling titles through retailers that sell only DRM-free books.
  
  
  I think I have seen comments on web sites etc where a book was not DRM-free and Tor then contacted the supplier to change it.
  
  So, yes, they are DRM-free.
  
  As for shop websites telling whether books have DRM see other questions here.
