In fact, customers are already grappling with that very issue on online forums. The reason: Most e-books carry digital rights management software, or DRM, which prevents them from being pirated, passed on to third parties or, in this case, transferred onto another device by the same consumer. Currently, downloading e-books onto one device and even trying to read or access them on another can be a time-consuming and complicated endeavor.”
