Perhaps this should go in the Kindle forum? This thread [
Dealing with Kindle ebooks in calibre] is about getting Kindle ebooks into calibre, not about getting non-Kindle ebooks onto a Kindle.

Barnes and Noble (Nook readers):

As far as I know, it has been years since there has been a Nook app that works on Mac. So while your info may work for PC users, it does not for Mac.

I would argue that libraries are not "legitimate" sources for obtaining ebooks from which one intends to strip DRM (though I know others disagree and justify such actions). Also, your very first sentence says "a summary of
buying books from LEGITIMATE alternate sources", which would seem to disqualify libraries from your list.
