+# 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.

+## Settings for Download and Upload
 
-Leeching is the process of only downloading a file, Seeding describes the
-download followed by alsow uploading it.
 When the downloaded torrent should not be seeded the best way is enabling and
 setting `Stop seeding at ratio:` to `0` under `Torrents` in the settings.
 This will stop the process of seeding once a package is downloaded allowing
 other torrents to start downloading.
