If you are an eBook fan, I guess you may usually purchase eBooks online. But the fact that most of our purchased books are DRM protected, this limite us to read books only on eBook retailers’ specific device or app. We cannot share eBooks between different devices, or share our favorite books with best friends. Though we have paid for them, it seems they are not 100% owned by us. It’s really a pain for eBook lovers, right? So, in order to enjoy eBooks more freely, removing DRM is the best way.
