Actually, the DRM is for an "application" rather than a "device". I had stopped using Calibre at one point as a "bother" but found that a book on my tablet that was readable under Aldiko (DRM registered) was unreadable using my paid Moon Plus Pro.
Now the ebook was on the SAME device (tablet) in the SAME PLACE int the directory; if as claimed, DRM was for a device, tablet/ereader, then it shouldn't matter which ereader app one chooses to use or check out how another ereader behaves. Another problem was I had to redo my public library ID to be the same as the tablet in order to get the library ebook.
Adobe claims one can have multiple IDs but that didn't work on the tablet for me. At one point I was able to have both IDs displayed on the tablet but still could not get the library book.......
Anyway, decided then that I will run the strip DRM process no matter what, even if not DRM'ed as in the BAEN books and some others.
