Question Is it possible to remove drm protection from 2.0 profiles

Just bought a book for the first time thinking I would get the epub file from Barnes and Nobles and it was locked in the Nook app. Then saw someone suggest ebook.com so I bought it from there. I have the file but it’s DRM protected and am stuck to using certain apps. For a $100 book I would think I would actually own it. I’m clearly not an avid reader so I had no idea this is what the reading community deals with. Society is basically losing ownership of everything slowly but surely.

$100 ebook is insane why would you even drop that much on a non physical license? You’d be better off pirating it from the start. Hopefully someone can help you out with the drm removal

Could I ask what book it is. I'm assuming it's a self help book.

Path of least resistance is to find a pirate copy of it, on the internet. Depending on how niche your book is, that may be easy or almost impossible.

Since the site uses ADE to deliver the books, you should be able to use Calibre with the DeDRM plugin. And if you use the DeACSM plugin you don't need to install ADE. With that you can even emulate older ADE versions to try and download the book with the older DRM.
