App developers guide to eBook DRM

4 points by mkdir_home 12 years ago · 1 comment · 1 min read


Hi HN, I have been googling around for a while, but it is proving notoriously difficult to get results.

I am working on designing an ebook reader, this reader will be cross platform including everything from computers to tablets (andriod and iOS).

A major concern here is DRM which limits which devices the user can use to read their ebook.

Does anybody know where I can find a developers guide to dealing with ebook DRM restrictions - particularly when designing an app that is aimed to be functional across multiple platforms.

Thanks for your help!

What do you mean by 'dealing with'?

Legally opening the ebook for the user to read (probably requires a deal with each DRM vendor), or cracking/stripping off the DRM entirely?
