The only catch is that it doesn’t work with copy-protected ebooks, so you can’t, for example, buy a Kindle book (which is copy protected) and translate it to ePub so you can read it on a Nook. |
You can remove DRM protection from ePub ebook protected by Adobe Digital Editions:

Some PDF files are just scanned images, so you can't convert them into text unless you use some OCR software like Abbyy Finereader.
I don't like reading PDF files even on
Kindle DX. Duokan is supposed to help with PDF and DjVu files on Kindles, but installing it would void your warranty.
