I purchased ELEVEN eBooks from Amazon in 2013 of which 9 have been completed and I am currently reading two.

By the way, all of us INCLUDING YOU waste too much time here. At least I am retired and have plenty of spare time. I assume you work for a living and are losing money every minute you spend here.

I find this Forum very entertaining and INFORMATIVE. Its the ONLY Forum I've been following in the last three months.

What I have just learned from Harry's post above is that all those Sony epub eBook files probably can NOT be stripped of DRM by Alf since I acquired them 2 generations ago of PC's. Thus, Alf will not find any decryption codes for them on my current PC.

I would have to go back to Sony and install their current PC reader and then re-download the epub eBooks again to convert them to Amazon format if I wanted to open them on my Kindles.

My question to you or anyone else, who cares to answer, what would happen then to my highlights and notes on all those epub eBooks? Would they come over with the Calibre / Alf conversions? How would I get them all in the Amazon Cloud? Would they have to be sent as eBooks or Documents?

One more question: can the Calibre / Alf combo decrypt my old MS PC Reader and Adobe Reader DRM protected eBooks. I cannot get those readers again since I have long forgotten my ID's and passwords when I acquired them?
