I wasn't sure where else to ask, so here I am
I just made a huge mistake by buying two books from the iBookstore without checking about DRM protection first
I rarely buy ebooks (these are my first, and maybe last two), so this is my first real experience with iBooks
For the longest time after downloading the books (on my iPhone), I first had a problem trying get them to show up in iTunes over iCloud, so I couldn't get the epub files onto my MacBook Air, I found out that I was logged into the wrong Apple ID, after logging in with the right AppleID, I was able to find the two ebooks and download them from iCloud to my MBA
After finding out that they were protected by Fairplay DRM, I tried searching for a way to remove it
Now I have heard from everywhere (including on here) that there is no way (currently) to remove the Fairplay DRM protection from the epub files (which is funny being that iBooks and the iBookstore has been out for over a year, plenty of time to crack Fairplay)
That said, while searching, I have came across a site that claims to offer software to strip the Fairplay DRM protection from epub files so they can be opened from any ebook reader
Now because of all the broken english on the site and the fact they don't offer a demo of their software, I wasn't sure if this software was legit or if it was just some sort of scam
Here's the link to the site I am talking about http://pdf-converter.for-mac-download.com/remove-fairplay-drm-from-epub-on-mac.html
The screen on my iPhone is just too small and annoying to read the books off of, and I don't plan on getting an iPad anytime soon
