I know Amazon kindle book is in a DRM so I could only read from my kindle. And I can only read the one I purchased from my account.
I'm wondering about other ebook stores. Some of them are in a DRM or a PID. I always try to find out which store's ebook has a DRM or a PID. And avoid those files but sometime it is hard to find out. (I'm terrible with search...)
It seems Mobipocket.com ebooks are in PID? You can use different device with these PID ebooks?
Some pdf files are in secured format but seems I can convert to mobi format using mobipocket creator. So what does this secured mean? What I understand before was that with the secured pdf file, you can only open with the pc you use in the beginning so if you can't read with different pc. If you re-install the OS, you won't be able to read those secured pdf files that you purchased.
I'm confused about how this whole DRM, PID, secured files will affect me if I purchase one.
I'm sure many of you are purchasing ebooks from various ebook stores. Can you tell me which store's ebooks are in a DRM, a PID, or secured?
Thanks
