DRM ERROR
Hi
I'm Clive, a new member and frankly nothing like as computer literate as most of you guys seem. So if the following enquiry seems stupid to you I apologise in advance!
I have pre-ordered the new Sony Reader and as I use the latest version of Tiger on my Mac I downloaded Calibre to get used to it. I bought and downloaded a book from BooksonBoard to practice and immediately hit a problem. When I tried to convert it Calibre reported an error because the book (which was in Mobipocket format) was DRMed. The BooksonBoard website did not say the book was DRMed so what should have been a straightforward process has been stopped dead in its tracks.
In future, how am I to know if a book I want to buy is DRMed?
I certainly don't want to go back to a Windows based computer just to use the Sony Reader and thought Calibre would solve this problem.
Can anyone help me? Replies in non-computer speak would be very much appreciated?
Thanks.
