Its DRM is only good for one thing: forcing genuine readers to consume its books on Kindle. Ultimately, in its push for dominance over the ebook market, Amazon has strong-armed ebook authors into using its DRM and then punished them for its own failure to protect them from piracy. Users can also install the Caibre DeDRM plugin which automatically removes Amazon DRM when ebooks are books are uploaded to the Kindle desktop app, Amazon site, or Kindle device. Amazon has seemingly made no effort to address this, considering that for years removing DRM from a Kindle file has been simple as opening it in a program like Epubor or Calibre and pressing ‘Convert’. It was cracked way back in 2009 by a reverse engineer who goes by the handle I □Cabbages. To put it bluntly, Kindle DRM is useless. Kindle DRM provides no protection against piracy One might argue that DMCA protection is more effective. When you publish with Amazon KDP, Amazon DRM is enabled by default.Įnabling DRM will make little difference as to whether users share your ebooks. Users can also lend their DRM protected ebooks to others for a short period of time before they expire and are no longer accessible.
