The eBooks in Kobo's store are also locked down with DRM.
- jabroni_salad 9mo agoYes, but Calibre can get the files onto any other device with a drag and drop operation, which is not the case with the newest version of Amazon DRM.
- zelphirkalt 9mo agoI guess we just have to wait a little while, until that method using Calibre also does no longer work, because either Kobo or Adobe or someone else wants to make sure it does not work.
- syntaxing 9mo agoSure, but you can load any file onto the device.
- WolfeReader 9mo agoOnly some are. At the bottom of each book's store page, you can see if a book is DRM-free. And if it is DRM-free, you can download an ePub. Example: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/gardens-of-the-moon https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/gardens-of-the-moon They've been doing this for YEARS before Amazon.
- aidenn0 9mo agoTor and Baen are two publishers that have been offering DRM free books on Kobo for a while.
