ebooks are ok if they provide them in a common format, like PDF, but
without DRM. Read more about the disadvantages of DRM here: 
https://www.defectivebydesign.org/
DRM makes it very hard to open a file in the reader you want because
the DRM programmers need to keep the DRM code secret. If they publish
it, DRM would be worthless, because everybody could then see how they
decrypt it.
