Another great thing about Calibre is you can use it to manage your entire ebook library from all ebookstores in one centralized location instead of having your ebook library fragmented across different platforms.ĭisclaimer: Removing DRM is a highly-controversial subject, and is in fact considered illegal in some countries, including the US and Canada. Plus you can easily control all aspects of layout using Calibre to modify the ebook’s CSS file. As if that’s not bad enough a lot of the time ebooks that you spend good money on are horribly formatted by the author or publisher, and if the ebook has DRM there’s not much you can do about it.īut if you go ahead and remove the DRM from your purchased ebooks you can read them on whichever devices or apps that you want. It locks ebooks into certain platforms so that you can only read your purchased ebooks on specific apps and devices. One of the biggest problems with ebooks is DRM.
