Also subscription services typically pay the actual authors only pennies. If you want to support the authors, buy the books or use libraries.
There are stores in many European countries that sell DRM-free e-books in local languages. They might use the term watermarked instead of DRM-free. See if you can find one in your country. Because they are DRM-free, you can use any device to read them.
Many libraries also lets you rent audiobooks and e-books. Many European libraries have moved to using Readium LCP DRM for e-books. You will probably have to use their own app to read them, which means you can’t use e-readers, such as Kobo to read them.

At this level of efficiency, the fusion reaction largely self-heats, becoming a “burning plasma.”
That 10x gain would be pretty huge, if they can make it to work. I believe the record so far is only 1.5x.
