DRM removed or not?

Tarana · 10-16-2012, 11:49 AM

Is there a fast way to determine if a group of books have any DRM attached to them? Right now, I have to open in View for each and every one. I'd like to just be able to open one of a group of recently added books and just use the arrow keys to go from book to book to determine which, if any, have DRM attached. OR, is there a bulk way to determine this?

Yes, I have installed a plug-in to remove DRM, but sometimes it doesn't work. I'm on the verge of carpel tunnel and trying to reduce the click-click-click.

Calibre is just awesome. Every time I think "I wonder if I can do this" it does.

The Quality Check plugin has a test for that

Quality Check is a more direct way to tell if a book is DRM-protected, but I discovered a side benefit to the Count Pages plug-in is that the custom column will show a page count for non-DRM books and not for the others. It is a quick visual way to know at a glance.

I really like both of these plug-ins!
