Are books purchased on Scibd.com DRMed? Can they be uploaded and de-DRMed on Calibre?

It's a weird kind of subscription library. You can't outright purchase ebooks there. Buy outright at Smashwords, Google, Kobo, Amazon, ebooks.com etc
Not Barnes & Noble or Apple as they are too specific. |

Does Scribd do ebook sales? From what I've seen, they are more of a lending library. In that case, removing DRM from a book that you do not own is hard to justify.

There is a workaround for outside of the U.S. (acquiring the app outside of the Windows store) but I'm not sure that it'll work for 100% of books. |
