When a friend was over from Australia she tried downloading a book to her Kobo as the prices here are about a third of Australia. But the Kobo was registered in Australia so would not allow the purchase. So as an experiment I bought the book and downloaded to my PC, from there into Calibre and then to her Kobo, which worked. I cannot see how using DRM to stop you shopping around for the best price is fair use.I used to download the books to the Kindle as usual and then connect to the PC by USB and copy the books to my hard drive as a backup. I then opened Calibre and imported the book which strips the DRM.Wow... I've never tried that... my fiancée's Kobo will have another looking at now. Her sister has a Kindle (logo follower, no idea about tech... also has an iPhone because, well, just because..., you know the kind of person I mean) So, I'll have to try a "backup" of the Kindle and see if we can transfer over to the Kobo. This is just for research purposes obviously - I'm not trying to steal the book. I don't even like Mills & Boon...
