Sharing ebooks???
I live in Australia, have a Sony e-reader, and have been continually frustrated by how few books are available to me. Like many others, I have bitten the bullet and worked out how to strip DRM from Amazon ebooks, so I can buy them and convert to Epub using Calibre. Now I am faced with the question of whether it is safe for me to share these converted ebooks with friends - as I would feel entitled to do with any other book that I purchased. I am aware that once I give a converted ebook to anyone else, what happens to it then is out of my hands. I would like to be sure that there isn't some hidden metadata remaining within a converted ebook that would allow Amazon to identify me as the original purchaser if one of my ebooks ends up on a news group or torrent site. I will certainly ask my friends not to do this, but I can't guarantee that it won't happen. Can anyone tell me if I could be identified from something within an un-drm'd, converted file?
