Meanwhile people can check book listings in the Amazon and Kobo stores and elsewhere to see- before buying-if they have DRM. So that bodes well for the anti-DRM movement when users find they can’t suddenly transfer the books to Kindles or other devices without fuss. The longer ebooks are around, the more people have invested in DRM-tainted ebooks (thousands of dollars in some cases). Could the anti-DRM movement take advantage of this customer confusion? Let’s remind ebookers that DRM, not format, may now be the sole obstacle to enjoyment of their previous purchases on many different devices. Skimming news reports, some optimists may think they’ll soon be able to send their existing Kobo, Apple, or Nook books to Kindles since those other brands use ePub.īut DRM in many cases will still get in the way-even with Amazon’s Send to Kindle feature being able as of late 2022 to convert ePub to a Kindle format.
