Current Economist has article Describing Calibre as a DRM removal tool

Hi Kovid,

You might want to check out the current "The Economist" magazine issue. It has a short article on ebook DRM that incorrectly describes Calibre as a tool to remove ebook DRM.

They never mention it is actually a highly useful ebook catalog, database, and conversion tool that does *not* do DRM removal.

They really should have pointed this out and explained that although *unsupported* third-party DRM removal plugins do exist, these DRM removal tools work just as well outside of Calibre and therefore do not require Calibre at all.

Another example of really shoddy journalism in my opinion. I always thought "The Economist" was better than that.

Perhaps a letter to the editor setting the facts straight is called for?

Take care,

KevinH
