bemoaning once again

Have I mentioned how much I hate the majority of ebook sellers? Well, let me mention it again!

*brought to you by the frustration of trying to get hold of Nalini Singh's Heart Of Obsidian in ebook format that will work with Calibre and my (Sony) Reader*

If you have Calibre, you should be able to crack the DRM and convert it to whatever format your reader needs. (As long as you don't then pirate the unlocked book.)

The key words there are "should be able to". Some of the newer formats are proving problematic, I believe. I've been having trouble with any ebooks from Amazon for ages.

Every time I've had that problem, downloading the package and reinstalling it has fixed the problem. They do update the DRM regularly, which means the package of de-DRM tools has to be updated, too. Once I caught it just as a new iteration of DRM came out and I had to wait a while for them to crack it and upload a new package.
