Hi Scott,

So if I wanted to, for example, move my Sony purchased, ADE protected ePubs to clients other than Sony's clients, I could? Which other platforms (hardware and/or software) could I move those to - without scrubbing the DRM first?

Certainly for Amazon, one must scrub, then convert files before moving them to other platforms, but that process is similar to Sony files (except no conversion needed after the "scrubbing" with the Sony files) - and fairly easy as well.
