What is DRM?

Modified on Tue, 28 Jan at 4:07 AM

DRM stands for Digital Rights Management and is the term for the anti-piracy protections most publishers require to be applied to their ebooks.


Certain publishers, like Tor, provide their ebook titles DRM free, making it possible for us to allow our users to download and transfer those ebook files to non Android or Apple devices like the Kindle or Nook.


We currently don’t support a method of transferring DRM titles onto devices with propriety operating systems and app stores like the Kindle or Nook.


DRM free titles can be downloaded and manually side-loaded onto your preferred device. Please refer to your device manufacturer’s support documentation for side-loading instructions.
