Thanks, hrynkiw, that explanation was helpful--and will save me considerable time.

I have a question about the first link: it sounds like using the Convert Books button, even with the appropriate add-ons, will not remove drm. Is that right, that the books would have to somehow be reimported to do that? Maybe I'm mis-reading, but it seems to be saying that convert is more about changing ebook format only after drm is removed. Or is it as easy as running Convert Books with the correct add-on?

Many thanks.
