|
||||||
peer-to-peer file sharing.

|
||||||
In BitTorrent context Leeching describes the process of only downloading a
|
|
||||||
file, seeding describes the download followed by also uploading it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

# 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.
