But be warned, Calibre is NOT a "mac" application, and you *will* find it annoying. It does work, though I found it very slow and very stupid (getting proper names for books (all gutenberg press, naturally) is tedious and annoying at times. > It absolutely converts PDF to ePub - and can convert countless other formats > as well.

I do have quote a few kindle books though (I bought one, the rest where free, but heavily laden with DRM). > Some of those python scripts might even integrate to Calibre as a > pre-processing plugin.

I would guess, but it's only a guess of course, that searching for calibre python drm might point someone (living in some other country) to more information? I would not, myself, highlight those three words and right-click and select "Search Google" because it is quite possible the mere act of searching is illegal under the terms of the DMCA. And we all know that the DMCA is our friend and there to help and protect us from the evil Somali pirate arab terrorist commies. -- 'Never build a dungeon you wouldn't be happy to spend the night in yourself,' said the Patrician (...).
