Open Market Anti-DRM EReader
Hello;
I'm looking for an 'E'Reader' that would be good in the area of non-proprietory e-book web-sites. Where there would be no digital rights management controls put on what is downloaded. Also, I have over several years built up a library, now stored on disks, of my favorite books which are non-drm. Which I would also like to access with an ereader. So the bottom line, is, what is out there in this category of EReader? Thank you, r |

None of the mainstream readers (Kobo, Kindle, Sony, Nook) will restrict you from adding non-DRM material to your reader (AFAIK Nook reserves part of it's memory for Nook proprietary books, but that's as close as a restriction would come). You are better to look at what format your books are in (likely e-pub) and get a reader that easily accepts that (although Calibre will let you convert format). The DRM is on the actual book file, so the reader just needs to be able to decode that (rather than DRM being imposed by the reader).

All readers will let you read DRM-free books. The fact that they also support DRM doesn't mean that you can't read books whih don't have DRM.
