How do you remove the DRM from a PDB file ebook using a Mac computer?
I recently bought a couple ebooks from Barnes & Noble and then tried to load them on my reader, but the reader doesn’t support PDB files, so I tried to convert them into EPUB files using Calibre, but it informed me that it can’t do the conversion until the DRM protection is removed with a third party application. I’ve been searching and searching for an hour now and cannot find any such applications.
Any help?
Hi Stranger,
Interesting problem. A friend had a similar issue and put me on to this web page that they found helpful:

I know you are on a Mac so you can rest assured that you can use the instructions on this page.
Good luck
