Issues with Sonystore epub and Calibre

shrktank · 01-04-2011, 10:04 AM

I am trying to move my purchases from the Sony Bookstore onto my Nook Color.

I open Calibre and go to the directory where the Sony EPUBS are located. When I try to open the book or edit the book in Calibre it comes up saying the book has DRM.

I thought Sony did not have DRM on their books?

Sony uses Adobe DRM. These should be readable on the Nook Color "as is", if you have authorized it for Adobe Digital Editions.

If you want to strip the DRM, there are 3rd party Calibre plugins that do this. See the tools_v3.0 bundle, and as usual Approntice Alf's Blog is the place for all things DRM related.
