So the bad news is that Bookshop.org’s #ebooks will be basically worthless to me. They will not let you download a book if it’s DRM protected, meaning I cannot use Calibre to break that protection and put it on an #ereader of my choice.
Rather you’re stuck reading the #book either on web browser or their app. Even worse is that they don’t seem to specificy on their website which books are DRM-free and which aren’t
