For example, ePub is a widely supported format that can be read by a number of eBook devices like Barnes and Noble’s Nook and iBooks on iOS. When you buy books from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple, etc.the books are encrypted with DRM so that you can’t open them on multiple devices or competing devices - even if they support the same format. Yes, the industry likes to call it Digital Right’s Management, but that’s really not what’s going on. One of the problems with eBooks, or some eBooks, is Digital Restriction Management (DRM). Annoyingly, they not only offer many formats, but also several DRM schemes too. Just as video and digital audio have a lot of formats to choose from, so do eBooks. If you’re new to eBooks, you might be wondering what I’m babbling about with regards to format conversions. Oh, and it also lets you read your books too. Calibre handles library management, format conversion, syncing to your device, and more. I didn’t coin that term for Calibre - that’s their motto. The best of the lot? Calibre, a one stop solution for all your e-book needs. But if you don’t get the gadget of your choice, or if you want to create content to fill one, you’ll find plenty of eBook software for Linux as well as open source software to publish your own. A Kindle, a Nook, or perhaps just an Android device that runs eBook software. Many of us are hoping for an eBook reader under the tree.
