Thanks for your comment Harry - I'd not started this off as a commercial venture, so not researched. I see you are quite right and the whole thing is a complete mess.

It would appear, however, that I could manufacture and sell hardware and software shich 'format-shifted' books without infringing any law. The user of the equipment would be in breach (if they cared!) but not I.

There does seem some indication that the EU are moving, Leviathon-like, to some resolution of this and I may still be alive when they manage to get there!
