Im leaning towards the Kobo for features but have seen books that I want on amazon and not available elsewhere.
(im sorry if these questions have been asked before and if they are dumb to most users. You cant really look at ereaders in the UK properly as they are covered in hard plastic cases to prevent theft)
You don't need to know if an Amazon book has DRM.

Install Calibre.

Google for "Apprentice Alf" and install the DRM-removal tools for Calibre.

Now, when you buy a book from Amazon, just drag and drop it into Calibre. If it has DRM, the DRM will be removed automatically. Convert it to ePub format, and copy it to your Kobo.
