You have to strip the drm first. It is not legal in a lot of countries so it can't be mentioned in detail here. Personally I'd love to know how to do it as well since I have some kindle books I'd like on my Nook. Some work no problem, but I have a couple that I can't convert.
Maybe somebody in the know could send a pm? |

For Adobe DRMed ePub/PDFs, use the "inept" scripts. For a good summary of the state of DRM removal, see Apprentice Alf's Blog.

Calibre will only convert non-drmed books. As Care states, you need to strip the DRM before hand.
Google will often help |

It would be illegal for Calibre to offer DRM removal, Hence it doesn't, It can be done, fairly simply I believe, and there are plenty of members who know how, I'm sure you'll find an answer, but not Calibre,
Good Luck |
