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.

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.
Y'know, I have to admit that I've not needed to remove DRM on a book yet, so I'm not the one to ask.

But yes, convert alone will not remove DRM. Yes, it's mostly about converting books from one ebook format to another.

I've seen mention in other threads that actively discussing the process of removing DRM is discouraged on these fora, however they almost always follow that warning with "the thing to do is to find and read 'Apprentice Alf's Blog'".

Good luck.
