  26. Security • popular DRM (e.g. Adobe) • authoringDRM solutions • watermark • no security= piracy!!! Publishersgiveup with „hard” securitysolutions (DRM), because of: • theyaretroublesome for readers • theyassureillusionarysafety • watermarkis much morecomfortable for readers and evenmoreeffective

  27. Restrictions • VAT taxistoo high • high pricesof digitalbooks • too small number of accessiblebooks • DRM securitysolutions • poorqualityof e-books and audiobooks • piracy • poorawareness • popularityof tablets and e-inkreadersisinsufficent
