If you do have a DRM free book (whether released with out DRM, or the DRM was removed), Calibre works great for converting between formats. Yes, you can sometimes buy books without DRM. On Amazon, if you see that it says that it allows for unlimited simultanious device usage, it is DRM free and can be converted to any other format without problems (or just copied to another machine that supports Kindle books). All books from Smashwords or O'Reilly are DRM free as well, same with books available from here at Mobileread. If it says it is Adobe ePub, or a Kindle book with a limit on the number of devices it can be used on simultaniously, then it has DRM. I should also mention that just because it says it is in ePub format, that does not mean it has DRM. Only ones that mention Adobe have it. Adobe simply bolted on a DRM system onto an existing, open, format. Last edited by Hellmark; 04-25-2011 at 12:32 PM. |

To the OP. Go to the Kindle Forum. I believe you will find a thread or two on how to buy books from Amazon US without being a US citizen or living in the US.
