weariedfae comments on I just found out that Humble Bundle has a book bundle for Terry Pratchett's Discworld. A 39 book bundle that is redeemed through Kobo.com.

Can you download a DRM'd file from Kobo?
Does it..ahem..can it "work" with something like Calibre?

Otherwise I will continue to slowly accumulate them through used bookstores.

Buy your legal license, then download it from the high seas sans drms.

I've been able to strip the Kobo DRM out of a couple of book bundles using Calibre. Haven't bought this one yet, but I'd assume there wouldn't be a problem.

Yes and yes. They use a couple of different drm schemes and you might need an adobe digital editions login for anything using the older one. The newer one doesn’t need anything special.
