Digital Rights Management (DRM) is attached to all digital documents to protect creators, authors, publishers and re-sellers.
You can buy and download and read it on your device, but you can't transfer it elsewhere or more than once. Copying is not allowed and therefore disabled.
The DRM acts like a key as well as a seal. It seals the document. Only readers or users who paid for it get a DRM which they can use to open and read or use the document. The DRM is non transferable. This annoys almost everybody who uses the computer.
DRM varies from publisher to publisher as well as from re-seller to re-seller. Amazon has its own DRM. Google has its own DRM. Digital books bought from Google won't open and can't be read on Amazon devices, and vice versa.
There are workarounds for removing DRM, but the software that does it is must also be purchased first. And removing DRM is against the law because it was implied in the original purchase agreement, even for private use.
