You are never buying from Apple Books, it's the usual DRMed crap, more like a rental. Amazon had gotten a lot of flak, buy Apple is not any better in this respect...
- criddell 4y agoMost Apple and Amazon Books are DRM encumbered, but not all. AFAIK, there isn’t a way to tell before you buy the book except by choosing books from publishers that don’t use DRM on any of their titles.
- ezfe 4y agoIf DRM works offline, it's not a rental. It's not desirable, but don't call it a rental, that just moves focus away from what the real problems are here.
- TheCoelacanth 4y agoEven if it works offline, it probably won't continue to work if you need to switch to a new device after their DRM servers are turned off. DRMed content can never truly be purchased.
