I guess the second part is, do I have to strip the DRM from each book individually, or once you do the reprograming, or whatever, you don't have to do that any more when you buy books that are DRM.
With Amazon and B&N you don't need to use an app on your PC to download ebooks (although K4PC is often a good way to get Kindle ebooks), but with Adobe ePubs and PDFs you have to use Desktop Adobe Digital Editions to download the actual ebook (in some cases the Sony eBook Library app work in place of ADE). Once a DRM-ridden ebook is on your PC, the act of importing it into Calibre will strip its DRM - providing you have the 3rd party DRM-stripping plugins installed. Some plugins need a one time setup step, but after that they are all hands off.
