Well, Kindle supports PDF and DRM-free mobi files. What difference does it makes with the iPad when both of them have a proprietary DRM scheme?
Nook or Sony accept standard DRM epubs, iPad doesn't
- chmars 13y agoWhat do you mean by 'standard DRM'?
- Oletros 13y agoThe one that is used by all of the great devices makers, Sony, Kobo, B&N or Google in Play Books. Change the wording to "de facto" standard
- chmars 13y agoI still don't get it. Do they use all the same DRM? Soft DRM is IMHO a possible way to go: You get freely usable files but the files get tagged with your name. It's AFAIK the kind of DRM Apple uses for music files from the iTunes Store.
- Oletros 13y agoYes, they use Adobe Digital Editions DRM
- Someone 13y agoThere is no stanard DRM format for EPUB. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB#Digital_rights_management http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB#Digital_rights_management: "An EPUB file can optionally contain DRM as an additional layer, but it is not required by the specifications.[24] In addition, the specification does not name any particular DRM system to use, so publishers can choose a DRM scheme to their liking."
- Oletros 13y agoChange to "de facto" standard if you like
