It seemed to initially, but later attempts make me doubt my conclusion.

Yes, I've seen that.

[E-0]createDocumentInfoInternal(C:\users\austin\My Documents\My Kindle
Content\B00AZRBLHO_EBOK.azw) - DRM issue

is the only DRM book I have. Removing it from My Kindle Content let it start.

I think here is fine. I've adjusted the summary accordingly.


The only DRM book I have currently is
http://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-Project-DevOps-Helping-Business-ebook/dp/B00AZRBLHO/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=,
which was free for one day a while back. Perhaps different books have different
DRM schemes?
