I can't say I understand the necessity of that.

I'm reading the DRM versions, and except in rare cases, the formatting seems perfectly fine to me. Sometimes I have to change the font size, but that's easy enough to do on-the-fly.

As for the metadata, I do that for my backup copies, via calibre and my own helper program, and that seems more relevant to me for cataloging. I have other lists anyway, that govern what I read, so I just go with whatever the default is on my ereaders.

For me to download, via Wifi, then copy off my device, remove the DRM and then copy back on replacing the original file, just seems like extra unnecessary work.

Of course, until recently, I was using the Download and Transfer option, and rarely needed to connect my Kindles to my PC, and before that I was doing the KFX thing with older Kindle4PC.
