What is DRM

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a broad range of technologies and methods used to make sure that whoever is using a digital product has the right and permission to do it. (Source: How to Geek)


Why DeDRM Your E-Books

When you borrow a book from your buddies, what will you do? Just ask them for the book. But if you want to borrow an electronic book, it is practically impossible. Amazon adds DRM to the AZW or AZW3 format e-book files it offers to protect the copyright of e-books. As a corollary, even if non-purchasers access these e-book files, they cannot be utilized directly on other readers or reading devices. At the same time, according to CNBC, Amazon will shut down the Kindle store in China. What about their E-Books after June 30, 2024? They can’t even download their books and read them on other devices. That’s why we need to DeDRM the books.
