I have a library of ebooks from Amazon (and a few in iBooks) that are resisting conversion. I’ll just read them on my devices as is, but am going with DRM free going forward.
@hawaiiboy out of interest... Are there any stores that provide DRM free books that you can load onto either?
@vincent I’m new to non-DRM, but I’m looking at Smashwords But the Calibre App had a great search that lets you specify format. .mobi for Amazon and .epub for iBooks and it will convert non-DRM to either.
@vincent Brace for impact, tho. Calibre is as powerful as it is ugly and willing to fight you over its UI/UX ideas. 😉
There's another tool called DeDRM for stripping DRM from books you've bought. Using it in conjunction with Calibre is a good combo because then you can convert your books as you see fit, and you're not bound to a particular reading device anymore.
