Comment on What Amazon Kindle? Here's an Open Source eBook Reader

It used to be able to strip DRM from stuff too, but I think they got rid of that for legal reasons.

Yes, Calibre can convert to most formats.
DRM removal is not a feature of Calibre, but of plugins you can add to it. Kobo and Adobe DRM have plugins available. Amazon DRM plugin is in a poor state as Amazon cracked down on a major method earlier this year.

Possible I did it that way. I seem to remember also being able to do it, by exporting it to my old sony e-reader, which is so old it doesn't have proper DRM, but I did have to sign up for adobe digital editions or some or other BS.
Huge waste of time, especially for something I'd paid full price for, so after that I gave up on buying ebooks, and simply pirated them.
