Hi all, new to this forum, and Kindle ...I am reading these posts with great interest. We have several Kindles in the family, and have been looking for a means to 'backup' our purchased Kindle ebooks, Had an experience where one of the kindles needed be sent back to amazon, and unfortunately had a number of 'gift books' on it, which were Not archived to our account. End result, we lost a good number of ebooks, which led to the search of backup software, Calibre.
Calibre works excellent, but, this issue of DRM's being removed, would a book in this state [ drm gone] be harmful to theKindle, or to Amazon account?
Many thanks.
PS please excuse me if this is posted in 2 seperate threads.
