I have bought one of these for my father and set it up using calibre. I own a book in Kindle which I would like to lend to him. It is drm protected. I have tried the python stuff to remove protection before converting but have failed. Can anyone help me? I promise this is to lend a legally obtained book to my dad and I am furious that I can't. Protection of Authors/Publishers is one thing, this feels like totally unwarranted restriction.

Not to mention that I am considering buying a sony - it is a truly lovely thing - but have kindle books!

No they can't. Hence having to remove prm so my Dad can read it. I think I will have to pay for other 'copies' Grrrr! It is enough to put me off ereaders full stop as we are a frequently book sharing family!

Which book is it?

dontdisstheteens · 05/01/2011 18:16

The one he wants right now is Bill Bryson At Home. I have kindle version and am reluctant to buy from Waterstones for £14.30! I guess we are just used to buying (owning) and sharing books Sad
