An eBook is a book published in digital form, and EPUB, published by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF), is the most widely used eBook format, supported by the largest number of hardware readers. Compared to traditional printed books, the most distinct advantage of eBooks is that they are readable on a “flat-screen”, such as on e-Readers (devices specifically designed for reading eBooks), computers, tablets, smartphones…
Though eBooks provide us with great convenience, we are limited to make full use of the eBooks we purchased in some ways. Digital rights management, short for DRM, is a set of access control technologies for restricting the use of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works, and different vendors adopt different DRM systems to stop users from copying, printing and sharing eBooks.
Due to the DRM protection, we are unable to save them as local files and are confined to read eBooks with specific app or devices. In this article, we are going to help those who are looking for a way to remove the DRM from EPUB (the most popular eBook format) eBooks. Below we apply the well-known eBook tool - Any eBook Converter to guide you how to get rid of the DRM in EPUB eBooks step by step.
Any eBook Converter is a professional eBook tool that can remove DRM from Kindle, Adobe, Kobo & Nook eBooks and convert them to DRM-free EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, TXT or KFX format in batch.
