Thank you everyone for the replies and help. Think I am just gonna let the whole converting to epub go. I will simply buy the book on amazon, then wait for a short time, and go get the same ebook minus the drm.
Just getting to old to mess with all the stuff needed to do it myself, BUT, still smart enough to know where to go look for them pretty easy.
While there is no way of knowing, I still believe that if people were able to put kendal books on a non kendal app, there would not be much piracy. Just think Amazon is forcing people to use only there software, and yet wont make the effort to make there software as well as programs such as moon reader pro for android, or ice book reader for windows 10
So I think in the end, the authors are getting the short end of the stick, if the books are priced at a fair price, and people were able to use what ever software that works best for them, people would gladly buy them.
Amazon refuses to let people read books on anything other than Amazon software, so the people said, fine, we will just release the books ourselves with out the drm. This has been going on for many years. I will NEVER forget tearing into author edward lee about not releasing his stuff on ebook format, then when his publisher started talking about the expense and bla bla bla. I simply had to show him, the books that people want, are already out there in the wild. The one book most lee fans wanted was his early stuff. So someone released it for them.
