Okay, I think I have it figured out (hope I do, anyhow).
Here is what I think I know.
Sony store is DRM locked as are several other big name stores.
To get those books, I have to download ADE.
With Cailbre, I can get DRMfree books, ePUB books and other formats.
Having the Sony store does not keep me from getting DRM free books, I just can't get them from the Sony store.
I can't download DRM locked books onto my Cailbre, I can only do so with the DRM free and other formats.
So, where am I right and where am I wrong?
And how do I download the DRM locked books from other sources besides Sony, if I can't do it through the Cailbre?
************************************************** ****
Stripping the DRM locked to make them free is an iffy to me. I buy a book, it is my right to read it, toss it, give it to someone, sell it or put it on an alter and worship it (I think some people really do that about some books, or at least some authors).
Anyhow, the argument is that since a person has that right with their paperbacks/hardbacks, why can't they have that right with their DRM books?
Thus, the stripping. Okay, I can see and understand that, and to a large extent, agree with it.
I'm still iffy on it, right at this time, however.
I will cross that bridge later, I just want to get some ebooks, and Sony has some free that I would like to get, but not if it keeps me from getting ebooks from other sources.
Instead of " I want my Maypo!" it is "I want my BOOKS"
so,
Janette
