With the latter I am independent of the computer.
And it is simply not possible to read a kfx book on a Kobo, or a kepub on a Kindle.
In some countries you need illegal and definitely violating the terms and conditions conversions and a computer for that.
My question to Kobo and Kindle advertisers: are they paid for advertising, or are they so simple-minded to fall for such simple business models.
From Amazon, you can download KF8 and convert to ePub. From Kobo you can download ePub and convert to KF8. If these have DRM, hat can be removed with the DeDRM plugin for Calibre. So you are not stuck with Reader specific eBooks.
