Saw a number of free books on Apple Books and was wondering if I could get them on my Kindle. Every single one I tried was DRM-free other than 1984.

Isn't 1984 in the public domain?

If that's true, that is stupid as shit. Orwell was British, and so is Secker & Warburg, the publishing company that published the book.
