Ĭalibre allows users to sort and group e-books by metadata fields. Calibre does not natively support DRM removal, but may allow DRM removal after installing plug-ins with such a function. Conversion and editing are easily applied to appropriately licensed digital books, but commercially purchased e-books may need to have digital rights management (DRM) restrictions removed.
