Some months back installed LinuxMint 20.1 on my Desktop and Laptop. Last few days have setup Calibre on my Desktop. Today I imported my 330 books purchased from Amazon over past years. Now when I try to open I am confronted by this DRM junk. What I see using the Calibre is, I like it very much. But what must I do to get around this DRM inconvenience? To purchase these books and now find out they don't belong to me. Shades of Windows many, many years ago. That was junk then too.

So where do I go from here? Calibre is useless, but I want to use it. By the way I am 81 years old. Made it this far. Thanks for your help.
