Meaning, you can't strip it from DRM, thus not being able to convert to any other format.
But Sony continuosly moves from .lrx to .epub.
I've already re-downloaded about 50 of my 400 .lrx files as .epub without any hassle.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Do you think there is a _need_ for being able to separate the encryption from the books? I'm not suggesting anything illegal, but asking if there are in fact people who OWN books that are DRMed and just want to personally use them on a different device (not distribute). I wouldn't mind solving that if it is in fact a problem.
