Okay, so this video is ostensibly about the Kobo Clara. The reason I'm posting it here is that in the middle of the video the guy goes off on an unplanned rant about DRM, using Calibre to remove it and why people have issues with it. I found that more interesting than hearing more about the Clara.

The DRM "information" was unfortunately full of misinformation - the reviewer says that the Calibre software comes from "Bittorrent culture" and can DeDRM ebooks.

I didn't say it was informative. It clearly wasn't intended as a guide. I don't think what he said was exactly wrong, just they were conflating Calibre with the Alf plug-in. Again, it was clearly unscripted. I can forgive that.

I did think it was interesting to see a professional reviewer at a very mainstream publication (PC Magazine) expressing the same anti-walled garden feelings that many on this board have.

Usually, when an e-reader is reviewed, there's no real mention of being locked-in to an ecosystem.
