When you purchase an eBook, that copy is intended for your personal use. Although you may copy an eBook file for use on another device you own, such as a portable e-reader or smartphone, you may not share copies with others. You also may not sell used e-books; ownership is yours alone and cannot be transferred.

other ebooks are sold without drm and can be copied easily on up to six devices. however, you may not share these eBooks with other people. Our drm-free eBooks are embedded with custom watermarks that help us identify any unauthorized copies found online. To learn more about watermarking, check out our watermarking e-book FAQ.
