Systemvoraussetzungen
Dateiformat: ePUB
Kopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Verwenden Sie eine Lese-Software, die das Dateiformat ePUB verarbeiten kann: z.B. Adobe Digital Editions oder FBReader – beide kostenlos (siehe E-Book Hilfe).
- Tablet/Smartphone (Android; iOS): Installieren Sie die App Adobe Digital Editions oder eine andere Leseapp für E-Books, z.B. PocketBook (siehe E-Book Hilfe).
- E-Book-Reader: Bookeen, Kobo, Pocketbook, Sony, Tolino u.v.a.m.
Das Dateiformat ePUB ist sehr gut für Romane und Sachbücher geeignet - also für „fließenden” Text ohne komplexes Layout. Bei E-Readern oder Smartphones passt sich der Zeilen- und Seitenumbruch automatisch den kleinen Displays an.
Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
