I am new to this forum.

I have decided to sell my iPad and plan to read books on laptop, android phone or future android tablet, possibly even a kindle reader.

I have about a dozen books on the iPad, I have backed them up to laptop, they have Apple DRM and can only open on ipad, iPhone or iPod Touch.

I do not plan to spend any more money on Apple hardware or content.

I have googled how to strip DRM from Apple iBooks, the best I could find was some Python stuff that was hard to follow for a non techie like myself.

Are there any applications or simple instructions to remove the iBook DRM?
Buying a Nook or a Kindle will get you into the same trap again. Both have their own DRM schemes and books bought with their stores are only readable on their devices.

Sonys may be more expensive but they are a lot more userfriendly with their matte touchscreens and the endless possiblities to buy from.
