Could the anti-DRM movement take advantage of this customer confusion? Let\u2019s  remind ebookers that DRM, not format, may now be the sole obstacle to enjoyment of their previous purchases on many different devices. <\/p>\n<p>The longer ebooks are around, the more people have invested in DRM-tainted ebooks (thousands of dollars in some cases). So that bodes well for the anti-DRM movement when users find they can\u2019t suddenly transfer the books to Kindles or other devices without fuss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile people can check book listings in the Amazon and Kobo stores and elsewhere to see\u2014<em>before<\/em> buying\u2014if they have DRM. On Amazon, look for \u201cSimultaneous device usage \u200f : \u200e Unlimited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enlarged, here\u2019s the file-related information in the Kobo listing for a recent thriller of mine:<\/p>\n<figure data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":21036233,\"permalink\":\"https:\/\/teleread.org\/2022\/05\/28\/will-amazons-new-epub-capability-help-the-anti-drm-movement-your-thoughts\/\"}' class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teleread.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/kobo-drm-info-screenshot.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"544\" height=\"296\" data-attachment-id=\"170520\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/teleread.org\/2022\/05\/28\/will-amazons-new-epub-capability-help-the-anti-drm-movement-your-thoughts\/kobo-drm-info-screenshot\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/teleread.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/kobo-drm-info-screenshot.png\" data-orig-size=\"544,296\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-image-title=\"kobo-drm-info-screenshot\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/teleread.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/kobo-drm-info-screenshot.png?w=544\" data-id=\"170520\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teleread.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/kobo-drm-info-screenshot.png?resize=544%2C296&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-170520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teleread.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/kobo-drm-info-screenshot.png 544w, https:\/\/teleread.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/kobo-drm-info-screenshot.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/teleread.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/kobo-drm-info-screenshot.png?w=300 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for existing books you own, you can try calling them up in <a href=\"https:\/\/calibre-ebook.com\/\">Calibre<\/a> or another multi-format app to see if DRM would get in the way. Or you can just try Send to Kindle once ePub conversion is in place.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, it will be helpful to convey your own anti-DRM sentiments to authors, publishers, and literary agents. Either no DRM or watermarking would be better. Imagine being able to buy most any books in the Kindle store or others without worrying about DRM! To Amazon\u2019s credit, it\u2019s like Kobo and doesn\u2019t make DRM compulsory. But most large publishers stubbornly use DRM even though it is a threat to our property rights or what should be our property rights (DRMed ebooks cannot be truly owned in the traditional sense).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detail #1: Remember, Kindles still won\u2019t be able to read ePub directly\u2013at least not based on what we know so far. Please, Amazon, give us native ePub, at least on apps and newer devices, without need for conversion.<\/p>\n<p><em>Details #2:<\/em>  DRM, alas, does make sense for libraries using the one-checkout-at-a-time model which treats ebooks like paper books.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Detail #3:<\/em> Outrageously, it is technically illegal to circumvent DRM even for personal purposes\u2014yes, <em>non<\/em>piracy use (where you\u2019re not sharing a book). This needs to change!  <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Featured image credit:<\/em>  Karen Rustad, Claremont, California. <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/deed.en\">CC licensed<\/a>.
