Speaking of Kindle ebooks: Converting them to PDF files can be a real PITA. At least the ebooks with Amazon’s DRM protection.

Calibre usually works when it comes to converting DRM-free ebooks. But the newer Calibre versions do not work with Calibre’s DeDRM plugin. So I tried Epubor, a commercial tool that promised to convert DRM-protected Kindle ebooks to PDF. But you need the Windows Kindle software installed - but not the current Kindle software but an older version. That did the trick (at least for almost all my DRM-protected files).

Disclaimer: I do not know about the US and UK but in Germany you are permitted to make copies of DRM-protected ebooks for personal use (only).
