Until I installed the plugins, I was unable to add B&N or Overdrive books to Calibre. It always gave an error that said the book had DRM. Maybe they have changed Calibre since then to allow this. That would be good if they did. I cannot test it because I don't want to remove the plugins.
Edit:
It even says on the Calibre website:
"Why does calibre not support DRM?
calibre is open source software while DRM by its very nature is closed. If calibre were to support opening or viewing DRM files it could be trivially modified to be used as a tool for DRM removal which is illegal under today's laws. Open source software and DRM are a clash of principles. While DRM is all about controlling the user open source software is about empowering the user. The two simply can not coexist."
So perhaps it now allows you to add a DRM book to its library and then move the book to your Nook, but you cannot do much else. I'm still betting you cannot even add the book.
