Delstar OpenBook Manual de usuario
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION BEFORE OPERATING YOUR
“OpenBook” E-READER:
Although there is an almost endless supply of open format
eBooks compatible with the “OpenBook” E-Reader, it is not
designed to read DRM (Digital Rights Management),
protected e-Books
About DRM Protected material:
DRM is short for "Digital Rights Management", which is an anti-piracy
technology used by digital copyright owners to control who gets access to and
can copy their work. In particular, DRM gives publishers, musicians and
authors some ability to control how people can install, listen to, view, and
duplicate digital files. This technology limits ownership by not allowing you to
share a file you own, copy a file you own, or loan a file you own.
Some concerns about DRM include:
-The inability to use a file rightfully paid for on all devices you own
personally. Secured formats are very difficult or impossible to pass
from one device to another.
-The inability to back up and safeguard e-Books that are paid for.
-The inability to cut, copy, highlight or paste material needed.
-The inability to convert an e-Book into an audio book.
-The inability to print a purchased e-Book.
The “OpenBook” E-Reader is designed exclusively to read open
format e-Books:
Up to 1.8 million free e-Books have been documented as
available on the internet. Dozens of sites offer these free e-
Books for your reading pleasure.
Open Format e-Books available for purchase:
In addition to free e-Books, many more can be purchased.
Many publishers and authors offer their works in non-DRM
formats. These books are compatible with the “OpenBook” E-
Reader.
CAUTION WHEN PURCHASING AND DOWNLOADING eBooks
FROM THE INTERNET:
Before purchasing any e-Book from a website, please make
sure it is NOT a DRM protected file. Many sites will use
words like “secured”, “protected” or “encrypted” to identify
DRM protected e-Books. These e-Books can NOT be read by
the “OpenBook” E-Reader. (NOTE: DRM protected files can
be purchased and downloaded to most computers, they just
can’t be transferred and read by the “OpenBook” E-Reader.
