I ordered some ebooks from amazon. Not realizing their format is not mobi, its azw, and won't go onto the JBL. I was able to convert one of them to epub via calibre. But I discovered others that I bought have DRM! Ugh. I wouldn't have bought them, had I known! I am thinking of getting a K3 but can't afford it now. So I was searching and trying programs and so far have not been able to find a way to strip the drm from these books. It seems to be too complicated for the average bear.

No more buying books from amazon until/unless I have a k3. I may have changed my mind about getting one. My JBL is a really nice device. The thinness of the K3 for carrying out of the house would be a nice advantage.
