    So, it looks as if library ebooks are not going to work.

    I have a kindle, I have downloaded calibre and i have downloaded an ebook from the Herts elibrary (which i am a member of).
    I managed to get Calibre to find the downloaded ebook from the e library (not easy) and then I wanted to convert it and send it to my kindle but no joy as it is DRM so calibre can't do anything with it.

    I'm a bit gutted. I've always read loads of library books and assumed i would be able to use the elibrary with my kindle.
    I'm not sure how much I will use the kindle if i have to buy every single book I want on it and can't get ebooks on it from the library.

    Very disappointing

    So, now i don't understand why people with Kindles bother downloading Calibre if it doesn't resolve this. What is the point of it?
