EReader seems to be a reasonable solution, actually, since the decryption key is derived from the number of the credit card used to purchase the book...and who's gonna 'share' a book that has their credit card number embedded in it? Of course, EReader doesn't work on Kindle or Sony reader.
Again, it's not the DRM as such I object to, I am not a thief and do not pirate my ebooks. I object to the publishers who use DRM as an excuse to tie the buyer to their own hardware. That isn't 'digital rights management', it is 'digital rights abuse'.

I'm pretty certain that's the topaz format. But not all Amazon Kindle books are in that format.
Also ... talk to kovid. I've been trying to convince him for some time that Calibre needs to be able to take LRF to Mobi .... but he just isn't interested in doing that. I have to respect his reasons, although I disagree with him.
