# E-books
|
||||
|
||||
E-books are digital publications of books.
|
||||
They can be read with specific hardware - an e-reader - or on a personal
|
||||
computer.
|
||||
E-books are usually available in `.epub` or `.pdf` files.
|
||||
Amazon (`.azw`), Mobi (`.mobi`) and other brands selling e-readers have
|
||||
proprietary formats.
|
||||
|
||||
## Management
|
||||
|
||||
The management of e-books can be achieved by using special software suites like
|
||||
[calibre](/wiki/calibre.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## DRM
|
||||
|
||||
Proprietary formats may but don't have to feature DRM.
|
||||
There are some software solutions for handling DRM like the no longer supported
|
||||
[DeDRM by apprenticeharper](https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools) or
|
||||
its supported counterpart [DeDRM by noDRM](https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools).
|
||||
Due to legal issues in many places it is recommended to not use these or
|
||||
similar software.
|
||||
If the software is to be used by you check your local laws first.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
Many e-book readers include a feature to keep track of read books.
|
||||
However they do not track the time that was needed to finish them or the number of e-books read in
|
||||
a specific timeframe.
|
||||
This can be done by using a special tracker like [Jelu](/wiki/jelu.md) which can be used to keep
|
||||
track of e-books and normal books at the same time which is a feature no e-book reader has.
