Bought a book from a bookstore that used watermarks. Unfortunately, it wasn't available anywhere without this "feature". To begin with I had to be treated like a potential criminal, being reminded several times during the buying process that should I share this book they could find out that I'd done it; secondly, the book contained a line like "This book was bought by Name Surname ([email address])" in both the description and at the end of the book.

I found this annoying, so I modified the text in Calibre. I forgot about the whole thing and got to reading. Suddenly, at the end of a chapter this same "watermark" appeared again completely ruining the immersion for me. I found it extremely obnoxious of them to insert this into the actual text/story.

(Is there a way of searching for specific text throughout the whole book in Calibre to remove these mentions? When I edited it Calibre showed each chapter as a separate file.)
