Blame the BWM (Buggy Whip Makers, otherwise known as the big publishers) who inflicted the DRM nightmare on us all.
If MobileRead allowed DRM guidance on its site, the site owners could end up in legal battles that could sink MobileRead -- although DeDRM itself is de facto okay (arguably
) under the Fair Use exemption, the court battle to prove it is not something MobileRead needs to take on.
So official MR policy is to not give guidance, although we are allowed to say, google "apprentice alf" for help. And doing more than that here will result in an Official Warning (above) and the deletion of any posts that actually provide guidance. Continued attempts will get a user banned, but the ban would be for willfully flouting site policy after being warned.
Anyway, now you know, calibre can convert non-DRMed books for you, although you can also use the builtin viewer to read the (non-DRMed) EPUB itself. Just double-click on a book row, which by default will open the book (using the preferred input format) in the viewer, or click the format label in the Book Details window to the right.
And it is possible to DeDRM them, but that is a discussion for a different site altogether.
Oh, and, Welcome to MobileRead!
