alurtek libre pro support of purchased protected mobi format books?

bob1xxx · 05-15-2010, 04:58 PM

LoL Im look for the "casebook of sherlock holmes" its the only volume that's still protected by copyright here in the US (so no PG download)

. So I found it on online books store for 3.99 (not bad) in the mobi format (which is on of the formats that always works great with my libre pro). Would a e store bought protected mobi format book work? It would be great if it did because it seem Epub format is such a crap shoot 5 purchase books 2 of the books are so fubar'd that their useless where as Ive had zero issues with the mobi format downloads or text files Ive converted to the mobi format. Thanks in advance for constructive helpful replys.

The Libre only supports non-DRM Mobipocket.

Just download the complete epub from here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...HERLOCK+HOLMES
Books from that era should be public domain everywhere. Copyright law in the US is a joke and all to protect Disney.
