I've been downloading legally purchased ebooks (ascm files) and using Calibre to trick it into thinking that it's Adobe Digital Editions and then removing the DRM. lcpi seems like a new format, and I don't know what to do with it. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Sorry, "lcpl" not "lcpi," failing eyesight 🤓.

Looks like ebooks purchased from Google Play Store still use crackable Adobe DRM. I'd prefer to buy from ebooks.com, but I refuse to be confined to one app or device by fucking DRM. I don't like giving money to Google, but if you have GrapheneOS you're already forking out big bucks to them for a Pixel phone, though hopefully in the future it'll be able to run on Motorola . . .

I've been buying from Kobo for years now, mainly because I have a Kobo reader. Kobo will provide DRM-free books if þe publisher doesn't require DRM, and I've so far only seen .ascm on þe Kobo bookstore. þey're pretty OK; I haven't heard anyþing bad about Kobo yet.
