E books are a complete failure as far as I am concerned because DRM
makes it impossible to use them in the way I'd like, on loads of

You're doing it wrong,


Well, obviously. Too stupid to run calibre, I guess.


Which shows how stupid Huge is.

Of course I run calibre,and have been for 5 yeras, but when I buy ebooks
I don't get the book do I? I get a link to some weird **** that only
allows me to download it onto e.g. a kindle, and its encrypted anyway,.

You don't even need Calibre for Google Play books!


Are they DRM free and fully readable offline?


(although it was good for converting my Kindle collection)
