I still cannot figure out how to use the "Quote" feature if I only want to quote part of a post.....

"Since you've already done this on your old computer, I would just move your DRM-less B&N books over to the new computer. You only have to worry about liberating more B&N books if you plan to continue buying books on B&N."

I added the Quality Check plugin. It asked me where to put it so I chose the main menu bar across the top. Hope that was the correct place.

Then, I clicked on 3 items in the Quality Check menu. I clicked on "Check ePub Structure" to find those 3.

1. Check DRM- I wound up with 237 B&N books with a blue star on the left. I do not know if that means that 237 have NO DRM or 237 still have DRM. All of them are Nook books. None of the Kindle books have a blue star.

2. Check NOT Calibre conversion- I had 841 books listed with the blue star on the left. Does that mean 841 books NOT converted? All of them are Nook books. None of the Kindle books have a blue star.

3. Check Calibre Conversion- 437 books have blue stars on the left. What does this mean? All of them are Nook books. None of the Kindle books have a blue star.

4. None of my Kindle books appeared on the Quality Check lists. I had created a column that had B&N or AMZ so I would know where the book was purchased.

I read the help section, but I still do not understand. For example, does "Check DRM" mean... 1. Check that the DRM is gone or 2. Check that the DRM is still there.

So, I will go back to working on the old PC until I figure out what I am doing. Then I will start back on the new laptop.

So, I assumed incorrectly based on a couple of posts here. Maybe this will help someone else. Just because the book opens in Calibre, does not mean that the DRM is gone.

Back to work once I figure out the Quality Check info....Thanks, everyone!
