Hello Mobile Read community.

We at BooksOnBoard are excited about this. A step forward we were fortunate enough to be able to partner with Stanza and Samhain on.

Please note that the other formats of these titles (Mobi, MSReader, ADE) are in fact also DRM-free.

We are currently working on agreements with several other publishers to put their catalogs up DRM-free.

Regards,

Kurt Johnson

-our Secure Adobe pdf and Secure epub are both supported by ADE, some ditributors no longer 'label' their ADE to identify whether epub or pdf, thus they are Adobe Digital Editions format. We try to stay refrain from referring to Secure (DRM) Adobe PDF (ADE format) as Adobe PDF as this creates confusion for new users of eBooks who most often see the PDF and assume it is a standard pdf file.
This mistake can create a frustrating first eBook experience, and we do not want that, we want everyone reading eBooks. (Please don't beat me with the 'thats why no DRm stick' I exist in a universe not of my making.
