Anyone know how Kobo works? Could I download the books to add to my Calibre collection? If so, what format are they? PDF? MOBI? EPUB?
I basically want to know if I can throw them at my Kindle and expect them to work without any kind of extra configuration or conversion.
They are DRMed, unlike the technical books I normally get from Humble. I should have read the fine print better and not believed the "works on all devices" summary. I trusted Humble and learned a good $18 lesson.
Can DRM be removed? Sure. But that's not why I buy books from Humble.
I don't get it. Just remove the DRM. It's mildly inconvenient but no way it's "$18 lesson" inconvenient.
