I have a small collection of my ePub files stored in the Books app. Prior to Monterey, I was able to drag and drop my ePub books from the Books app into Finder and then use another app Like Calibre to open my books. Now, Calibre can't open any books from the books app.
Any idea how to save my books collection from what seems to be a layer of DRM?
calibre, version 5.33.2
