All right, eschwartz and Dennis. Thanks for all the great info. Ironically enough the first ebook I tried (remember, I thought they were all DRM-free) to read was DRM. So that got me cutting at trying to set up the Alf (great name) automatic DRM removal thing on Calibre.

I'd lost all my books in Calibre overnight (I'd deleted some meta data files that wiped out my whole library.) so I decided to start fresh. (I only had 10 or 12 books in the library and still had the files so it was no big deal.)

I made a good start following Alf's instructions but bogged down at the point of customizing the plug-in for Linux. (see screenshot 94). Seems (I found this Googling around) I need to input info (see #95) I don't have, as I don't have an ereader yet. (And therefore no serial # for Kindle or credit card info for B&N.)

Would I be right in this being the reason I'm stuck?

And what about #96? Am I going to be setting up all of those? And it was a little confusing too. Most of the books I'm importing into Calibre are from Kindle for PC. Would that be the first category "eInk Kindle ebooks" or the last one "Kindle for Mac/PC ebooks"?

Thanks.
