I don't have the ereader yet, but I am looking into buying it next month some time. If I were to buy the book in ereader, is there an easy way to convert it to epub if it is DRM protected? I don't want to do it if there is a question as to the legality, although I will only be using it for myself, and not distributing the book to anyone. And if I did convert it to epub, would that change the format, or the functionality of the book? Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks!  |
No, it is not legal to break any form of DRM. If you do that, you are potentially liable for copyright infringement. See my earlier post.
I highly recommend that you write to the publisher and tell them exactly why you are not buying the DRM book. It's the only way they'll finally listen to reason and stop using it.
