What is Adobe DRM protection?
There is a restriction on the number of devises on which a user can read Adobe DRM protected e-books. The number of devices is 12: 6 PC / Mac and 6 Tablets / Smartphones. This number is enough to avoid a restriction and protects the creators of trafficking. In order to read Adobe DRM protected books, the user needs a personal Adobe Id (obtained by Adobe) and a specific software (for PC / MAC is the Adobe Digital Editions and for Tablet & Smartphones is edubooks4all.com application). All software are available for FREE. On edubooks4all.com, there is a specific indication, for all Adobe DRM protected books. If you read on e-readers, consult the manufacturer's instructions in order to verify that your e-reader opens Adobe DRM protected books. The vast majority is compatible. Amazon's Kindle is NOT a compatible device.
All books offered on edubooks4all.com are Adobe DRM protected?
No. Most of them are Adobe DRM portected but there are also free e-books and for the free books there is no restriction regarding the number of devices. Free books have no protection.
