Re:Dear FSF by Just+Some+Guy · 2010-01-28 08:26 · Score: 2, Informative · on iPad Is a "Huge Step Backward"

To my surprise, one of the most important functions I wanted in a book reader was not there -- I could not import my own documents.
You can't? That's news to me. Just last week I downloaded a text file ("Leiningen Versus The Ants"), used Calibre (GPL) to convert it to epub, launched Calibre's built-in webserver, opened Stanza on my iPod, pressed the "Get Books" button, looked under "Computers Sharing Books", and downloaded the file.
Removing DRM by moggie_xev · 2009-12-31 06:59 · Score: 1 · on DRM and the Destruction of the Book

I have bought over 1200 ebook/stories. I do buy stories with DRM attached but only if I know I can remove it. Here are some links:

mobidedrm http://darkreverser.wordpress.com/ This removes the DRM from mobi books

ineptkey http://i-u2665-cabbages.blogspot.com/2009/02/circumventing-adobe-adept-drm-for-epub.html This removes the DRM from epub.

calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/ An open source book management system that also does format conversion.

I have never shared any of the books I have bought although I suppose I would in theory be willing to lend one to someone.
