Comment on Adobe to Require New Epub DRM in July, Expects to Abandon Existing Usersparent

Comments

I'm also confused - Adobe has their own ebook DRM? I didn't know this at all. Who uses this?

Barnes and Noble Nook readers use it, I believe.

Plus lots of other vendors that don't have their own hardware chain. Powell's books, for example.

Or anyone attempting to self-publish a DRM'd ePub without putting it in Apple's store.

Public libraries that use the Overdrive system use this DRM scheme.

Most public libraries in the US use Adobe's DRM to cover their ebook loans.

Just about everyone using DRM with epub uses Adobe's offering, IIRC.
