It’s how I convert, organize, and then transfer books over to my Kindle, all painlessly. It’s also a great digital library management tool in general. Calibre is going to do the bulk of your converting.

If you want to be able to have a backup library you can control, or the freedom to be able to buy ebooks on different platforms and read them in one place, you have to crack DRM. Barnes & Noble only wants you to use the Nook store. But DRM also forces consumers to be locked into one ecosystem, device, or app. DRM’s goal is to curb piracy, and that’s a worthy premise. In so many ways, they’ve made reading a bit more portable and convenient, while also preserving the medium in the digital age.īut different digital storefronts sell different ebook filetypes and different forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management).
