What is certain is that after the abolition of the EBOOK DRM, Apple and Amazon will not be greatly affected for the following reasons:
1, Apple and Amazon are two giants of the ebook industry, they not only have their own e-book library, but also have their own e-book reader, which means they have their own independent e-book sales environment, the reform of the outside world does not have much impact on them, because they have sufficient capital to operate their own e-books Kingdom.
2, Amazon has always been to ignore the voice of the outside world, for example, most people agree that ePub as an e-book standard, but Amazon chosen to adhere to its own AZW format as the main format of their own e-book, and also to create a unique AZW DRM protection, it’s clear to be sure that Amazon will not yield to other e-books drm reform.
3, Apple iPad can read ePub e-books without any protection, but when we purchased ebooks from iTunes they have IBOOKS protection, which is unable to be cracked currently. Apple has always been known for a unique and will not join in the ebooks DRM canceling team.
These above is only the individual thoughts on e-book DRM canceling, please enjoy and discuss.
