If there is no DRM, you CAN read ePub eBooks in iBooks. It may not display properly in places because iBooks is Apple's take on ePub. For example, Baen & Tor are two publishers with no DRM and their ePub can be viewed in any software that handles ePub with no conversion needed. Amazon's KF8 (DRM free) needs to be converted to read in third party programs except for Calibre.
Adobe's tech would be meaningful if it was encoded in a standard, and everyone could use it merely by implementing it. Since it requires licensing proprietary tech from Adobe, the oft-spoken-of, mythical, delusional "openness" of Adobe DRM amounts to nothing more than cheap hypocritical sniping at Amazon. (But not at iBooks, simply because no one cares about them.)[/QUOTE]
How much is is to license RMDSK? The thing is, you can do it if you want. You cannot license software to handle KF8 with DRM. That's why it's only Amazon that has such software because they don't let it out in the wild.
