Defective by Design<p>When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers.

Not only can it prevent you from reading an <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/ebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ebook</span></a> on other apps than the one decided by the bookseller, but it is sometimes not even compatible with other widely used DRM system, like <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/Kindle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kindle</span></a> or <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/Kobo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kobo</span></a>. This means that if you have a wide panel of readings, especially academic works, you'll have to buy multiple <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/ereaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ereaders</span></a> and load your books in multiple <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/readingapps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>readingapps</span></a>.
