> Damn near impossible to find DRM free books to purchase

My method has always been to buy physical books (which is also better to support the author, because they get a bigger % of the price you pay.

And then, there are other creative ways to download the ebook... (without buying from Amazon, or other monopolists.)

It is still possible to remove DRM and export to PDF or epub. Not point-and-click easy, though.

While Calibre makes it easy, it's even easier to just download a copy someone else has already stripped of DRM.

If publishers/authors want my money, they can release a version without DRM.

Calibre is a rather painful tool, but seems to remain the best.

Calibre web and calibre web automated downloader remove a fair bit of the clunk.
