The Amazon Kindle is a series of e-readers designed and marketed by Amazon. Amazon Kindle devices enable users to browse, buy, download, and read e-books, newspapers, magazines and other digital media via wireless networking to the Kindle Store. Amazon has designed Kindle apps for different platforms including Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, etc. The downloaded books on Kindle devices would be automatically synced to Kindle apps on different platforms in the same account. eBooks downloaded to Kindle are saved in Word (DOC, DOCX), HTML (ZIP, HTM, HTML), MOBI, ePub, RTF, TXT, PDF and KPF.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThe Kobo eReader is an e-reader produced by Toronto-based Kobo Inc. The company's name is an anagram of "book". With three generations of Kobo e-readers under its belt and widely available, along with the Kobobooks.com e-book store and partnership with the (faltering) Borders book chain, Kobo has become increasingly visible in only two years and now claims to control roughly 10 percent of the US e-book market. Book formats you could open on your Kobo include EPUB, EPUB3 (Note: Kobo Original and Kobo Wi-Fi does not support EPUB3), PDF, and MOBI. <\/p>\n
Part 2: <\/strong>Why Can't We Read Kindle Books on Kobo eReader<\/h2>\n
Most eBooks purchased and downloaded on Kindle device or Kindle app are DRM protected. DRM, short for Digital Right Management, is the practice of imposing technological restrictions that control what users can do with digital media. When a program is designed to prevent you from copying or sharing a song, reading an ebook on another device, or playing a single-player game without an Internet connection, you are being restricted by DRM. <\/p>\n
In other words, DRM creates a damaged good; it prevents you from doing what would be possible without it. This concentrates control over production and distribution of media, giving DRM peddlers the power to carry out massive digital book burnings and conduct large scale surveillance over people's media viewing habits.<\/p>\n
To protect the author and publishers\u2019 right, most eBooks on Amazon Store have been DRM restricted. This means you could only read Amazon book on your Kindle device or Kindle app. If you want to read Kindle books on Kobo and other eReader devices or apps, you have to firstly remove the DRM protection and then convert Kindle books to Kobo or other eReaders. You could know how to convert Kindle books to Kobo below.<\/p>\n
