If so, where can you buy them, preferably globally? EDIT: thank you all for your valuable comments, it's much appreciated! Have a great weekend :-)

Calibre does not remove DRM. Calibre does support plugins, and as it is a totally open source application, these plugins include third party ones for which the Calibre developers have no responsibility. One of these third party plugins will remove most types of ebook DRM. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Papanca@lemmy.world [S] 11 points 2 years ago Very helpful clarification, thank you permalink fedilink source parent [–] lycanrising@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago it's a plugin but it's not too hard to configure. just a pain to download the files and copy them over. permalink fedilink source parent
