DRM is a scam. When I got my 1st ereader, Nook 1st gen, on B&N's 1st shipment, I was happy until I tried a few other ereader apps; got stopped because of DRM & was VERY irratated as the "device" was registered with adobe drm. Adobe considered that the "device" meant each reading app.

Got introduced to deDRM here & was happy again as it was trivial to include the method to remove DRM. If it was difficult & had to go thru all kinds of gyrations to dedrm; I most likely not buy so many ebooks or be content. Have not found any ereader or tablet that included a version of Moon+Reader for DRM. Overdrive does not give a happy reading experience for what [B]I[B] want in a reading app.

DRM limits choice for reading & limits a person's choice of trying & selecting reading apps. Adobe's DRM restrictions also restricts on how many adobe signons(?); had tried to use a single sign-in for multiple apps at the same time on the same tablet & even multiple adobe ids.

Removing DRM should not be as 'complicated' as doing something to an OS to get around the OS restrictions or non-working parts.

I do appreciate very much both Calibre & the DeDRM.
