![]() This is because the book has to be authorised to be accessible on your devices, and must be authorised by itunes before you can remove the drm." You actually have to pay for books legitimately in the app store, and you can't remove drm from books someone gives you a copy of. "the method I use for removing drm is not designed to steel content from apple, in fact completely the reverse. I want to take the time to respond to all points Alex brings up:ġ. Many seem to think that, because we are blind, we are above everyone else and can do as we like. This message highlights much thinking that I seriously disapprove of within the blindness community. Also, drm removal does leave identification tags in place on the decrypted files so unless other software was used to deliberately remove those which I haven't done its still possible for people to find out who's a particular copy of a book is.Īlso, all the information and software to remove drm is in the public domain anyway, you just have to go to the right places, honestly people should stop being so proodish like the mods on the viPhone list, I hardly think apple will care about already publicly available information being redistributed, and our community is so small we are not worth their attention. I am considering posting a guide on removal of drm on the site, as its not steeling from apple, and its simply adapting content for use how you like.Īlso, apple music is now drm free, and we can use it how we like so surely the same should be true of ebooks. I don't see why we shouldn't be allowed to use content that we have legally paid for how we see fit. This is because the book has to be authorised to be accessible on your devices, and must be authorised by itunes before you can remove the drm. ![]() The method I use for removing drm is not designed to steel content from apple, in fact completely the reverse. If the pdf and epub formats could be made accessible, I would ditch iBooks and switch to this as my main ebook reader, as the app doesn't use a fancy database to track its files, so its free of itunes.įirstly before getting into the reply I have received from the developer, I would like to address james's post telling me to stop going on about jailbreaking apple content. This will make organisation and management so much easier than using iBooks. The other really nice thing about this app, is that you can organise your files inside multiple levels of directories, so you can have say an author folder for example then a series folder and then your books. You just have to place any files or folders you want to read in the documents folder. Its also worth noting that files can be copied to the app without the use of itunes, you can just use windows copy and paste if you have a third party app that lets you access app folders. I think I might try dropping tthe developer a message about these issues, as the app does seem quite nice. With epub files, you can access the table of contents with no problem, but after you have clicked on something from the table of contents there doesn't seem any way to read the actual text of an entry you have selected. With pdf files nothing will read at all with VoiceOver, and i'm not sure how easy this would be for a developer to fix, as we don't know how apple have done it with iBooks. It reads html and chm fine, however there are problems with epub and pdf. I Just purchased this app, and I agree all controls are fully accessible, however not all formats are accessible with VoiceOver. CHM+ Reader is currently the only CHM reader that supports. mht format is experimental, the App might not be able to open large.
