Hello Donna,
I'm affraid I haven't had the sighted support to get the command line
tools installed. The graphical interface is inaccessible. To install the
command line tools requires opening the advanced preferences of the
program. I believe that I'll be able to convert ebooks into different
formats from the command line. As I do currently on Windows.
However, Calibre will not convert books that have DRM. You'll have to
use another tool to remove DRM. Depending upon what country you reside
will influence your personal feelings about removing something that the
producers have employed to stop such activity.
I personally, remove DRM from books I've purchased for personal use.
Simply, in order to access it. But I respect that some people wish to
obey the strict letter of the law of their country. I would rather buy
an iBook version of a book than have to remove DRM from another format.

Hi all,
I haven't followed this thread closely, so my apologies in advance if I'm
covering old ground.
What is the current status with Caliber? I've seen posts where people were
having trouble using it. Is it a good accessible resource for converting files
to ebooks? What will it do and not do? How does it handle DRM management?
thanks,
Donna
