Regardless of how anyone else wants to do things, or how silly or timewasting or whatever they find a person's particular worries, it's a perfectly legitimate and reasonable thing for them to want a device that suits their needs and makes them feel more comfortable. Especially since there are a lot of devices available that do what the OP is asking for. It hardly effects anyone but themselves, anyway.
I agree with you. However, practically everyone on here only espouses breaking the drm which you have to go hunt for on the web in order to download some other program to do it & then fiddling around with it in Calibre, then if they are lucky they have time to read the damn thing.

In other words, making it more complicated then it has to be. Maybe some just want to buy the books they want & sit down and read them.

You all make it sound like this is something that HAS to be done & nothing could be further from the truth.

The least you can do is present BOTH sides. Having a drm book is NOT the end of the world and it is highly UNLIKELY that anything is going to happen to that book, especially if you back it up. Which is something that everyone should do with all their important documents that are on their pc's.
