In some countries Google Play offers ebooks. I was wondering if those are DRM protected.
Can I export them as e.g. epub? Or are they bound to be read within the Google Play Books application?
Answer
Some are DRM protected, others aren't.
One way I'm aware of to find out the ones that are DRM, is when you try to download the file for offline reading:
- If the extension is
.acsmthen its a DRM protected book. - If the extension ends in
.epubor.pdfthen its not DRM. protected.
