And, how old is it now? I see there's 4 versions, so if I want to save
a buck and buy a used edition, I may get version 1. How many things has
MS changed since Woody wrote the current version? I'd rather spend the
$25 on a prime rib dinner. LOL

I pointed at the 3rd edition published July 2018. Looks like the latest
edition. The cover should show the edition (except the 1st edition
since it wouldn't be yet known if there will be more, like the Great War
became WW1 only after there was a WW2). I couldn't find a 4th edition.

For Woody's book, my library has e-book versions of it. I don't know
if the free Calibre e-reader works with it (because, I'm sure,
there's some DRM **** attached to an e-book loaned out by a
library), so they had me install Adobe Digital Editions (also free).

The last time I played with Calibre, it would read just about any
e-book format, plus convert between formats. It would also load your
book and turn it into an e-book.

I don't remember if Calibre handles DRM. I only recall that I
downloaded the ePUB book from my library but Calibre wouldn't open it.

"Most purchased EPUB books have DRM. This prevents calibre from opening
them."

After just checking, there is the DeDRM plug-in which started 4 years
ago. If this plug-in didn't come already included then I wouldn't have
gone hunting for it. https://plugins.calibre-ebook.com/ doesn't list
DeDRM, so it probably doesn't come bundled with Calibre.
