When you buy a book from Kobo, the page that the sale completion generates has a blue button to download the ePUB. The same button is present on the library listings for books bought on the Kobo website.

When I bought the book, I thought I could simply use Calibre to convert the epub-file for my Kindle. After complaining on
mobileread.com, I did some more 'research' and found the good Apprentice Alf. So now I have removed the DRM. But I think that is piracy, even though I bought the book. Only, this act of piracy does not make me feel guilty,
because I bought the book.
