Okay, I'm coming around. How do I get library books. I tried following the Visual Kindle wiki but its been "de-commissioned" at Amazon's request according to the authors.

I should admit I don't buy books unless I intend to keep them for reference or intend to pass them on to someone else (another shortcoming of the Kindle, I can only share books I buy with a "family"? Kindle. I figure my taxes pay for the library and I can get just about any book (eventually) there.

I'm not a reader of pulp fiction, the new book every year author's, for the most part, though I do get through about 50 a year. And, I read a good amount of technical docs.

So, I'm willing to keep trying...how do I get library books?

So far I've downloaded and installed Mobireader and Calibre and got an e-book from the public library downloaded. But Calibre says its DRM protected, so that's not going to work.
