For my part as a network administrator its a very different issue. I need to understand exactly how DRM goes about restricting your rights to the books that you buy.
Actually, Calibre does not remove DRM. It lets you take a text or HTML file and turn it into files that can be read on eBook readers capable of rendering Mobi, ePUB, etc. The original file has to be free of DRM before Calibre can load it.
