I have tried to convert them so that I may read them when kindle arrives. I learned from here that calibre was the programme to use. When I tried it I learned of DRM!! It said I need a 3 rd party application to remove DRM.

I feel very upset that as pensioner I now have either got to try to manage to read them on a screen that is unclear or lose them and pay for new books.
I have tried a couple of things that have been mentioned but I really do not understand how to do it, I need an idiots guide which I know you are not allowed to post.

I just wanted to rant, the books are my books and cost around 250 pounds if they were paper books I would be able to do as I pleased with them, either give them away or they could have been resold as used.
If these eBooks you have bought are in ePub, I suggest canceling the Kindle and getting a Sony PRS-600 instead. The 600 will handle the ePub eBooks with the DRM. The Kindle will not.
