It might be easier to get publishers to fix this. Not all publishers use DRM on books sold by Amazon (Tor is a notable example). Books not encumbered with DRM can be used by alternative apps.
- iggldiggl 4y ago> Not all publishers use DRM on books sold by Amazon Is there some way of finding that out in advance of buying the book? (Other than individually asking each publisher/author?)
- gnicholas 4y agoApparently the book's details will say "simultaneous device usage: unlimited" if it doesn't have DRM.
- gnicholas 4y agoInteresting point! I'm not sure that Amazon would change their web app's software stack for a subset of their publishers though. My guess is we'd need to find a big publisher and get them to ask Amazon not to use this new image-of-text method. But I assume that any big publisher would be unlikely to not use DRM.
