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
different devices.

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,.

That would explain why I've downloaded hundreds of ebooks from Amazon and
from Google Play and loaded them into Calibre, then downloaded them onto
an ebook reader that isn't linked to any online account, then. Without
doing anything special.
