I need to learn more about encryption and DRM
The maker of my ebook reader has told me that I can not use ebooks sold by Barnes and Nobles because their books are encrypted for use by the Nook and Pandigital Novel. They went further to say that Sony and Amazon do the same thing. Does this mean that these three companies use DRM? I take it to mean that I can not buy ebooks from Amazon, Barnes and Nobles and Sony unless I have their reader. They went further to inform me that I can buy books from any company that does not encrypt their products, is the company using the term encryption as a synonym for DRM? Would someone please list some web store sites that do not encrypt their products. I have seen the thread on this forum that gives some links to such sites already.
