You really don't have to spend E 250 in order to read ePub books.
I wasn't aware of the development on the ePub format by Calibre.
Still I think I should be able to buy an e-book and get it on my CyBook without installing additional software to strip & convert.

/me is going to download the most recent version of Calibe - hoping it has some file-management nowadays
