Hi Clive,
We regret the difficulties you experienced, and want to clarify the following:
(1) Almost all of our eBooks are DRM except for eBooks from Abbey House Press and a few other smaller publishers. The major publishers all require DRM;
(2) We do have a limited number of DRM-free Mobipocket, pdf and epub classics from Abbey House Press, such as
the Century bundle plus a handful of free classic titles on the
Free eBooks page;
(3) We also offer DRM titles free of charge for testing all of our DRM formats on our
Free eBooks page. MP3 audio books are the only titles that are never DRM, though they still require the Overdrive Media Console and Windows to download;
(4) With the new firmware release from Sony, the PRS-505 is now compatible with both ePub and Adobe PDF (including titles with DRM). We offer both formats, though we recommend ePub where available because pdf in many of the titles may not scale to a readable size. This is all brand new, and we are conducting testing to come up with further data for our customers regarding the pdf versions. ePUB, however, flows very nicely and is quite readable.
We do answer all emails directed to our support team, so if you have any other questions, please feel free to email
support@booksonboard.com.
Regards,
The BooksOnBoard Team
