Thanks for answering. However, I don't understand half of what you're saying. Although I use Linux, I'm a simple man, and I haven't got much experience with manualy installing software in Ubuntu, except for double clicking some .deb files...

So, what I'm asking is basically: what "ready to install/use" software is available for Linux / Ubuntu for removing DRM from (all kinds of e-book) files, and/or for other e-book needs?

I hope this question is not too basic or broad, I've searched the forum and internet for a while, but I haven't got much further then Calibre (which I know won't strip any DRM).
