Aha, I've got it!
In Russia we usually have no such protection.
When I buy an ebook they give me either pdf, epub or fb2 file with the book.
Sometimes they put some markers into the book, for example after some chapter you can find the following written on the white background with white small letters:
litres order number 253668 purchased on 25 November 2024.
Sighted people would never even find this line but if you are pirate and upload this to somewhere they will find you by this order number.
Or some other websites allow you t read purchased books only on their webpage, without even letting you to download. But now this aproach is les popular.

Cyrmax: As for the DRM encryption I meant, it doesn't exist on all online eBook shops - but on a lot of them, Amazon Kindle being the most famous distributor, as well as others using software like Adobe digital editions. For example Amazon: When you buy a Kindle ebook, you get it to read in the Kindle Windows software - but you don't get a plain epub format to download. That's where the DeDRM comes in place: Those proprietary formats come with an encryption, it needs to be removed before my Braille display can open it (of course, since it hasn't any internet connection). Yes, you may argue that this is a gray area and you're right, but as I never use this to give ebook files to others, but just to read on my own preferred device, I consider it OK. How is it for you in Russia?
And Charles: I'll PM you to not go to far off topic here, have some ideas which you could check out.

I tryed it on something called SightCity in Frankfurt, they basically present a ton of aids and services and tech stuff for blind. They said they plan to develop something for/with NVDA in the future, they even asked me if I wanted to beta test and I left them my Mail but no idea if they will contact me fr.
Also not sure which company that was lol, maybe that thing from FCNJD?
-- (cyrmax):
Btw, how they work with NVDA for example?
Or do you have to stick to JAWS for such?
Would be cool to use one in future, but AFAIK there are no known locations for blind people where we can try these multiline displays.
Usual ones are available in libraries for blind and in schools.

Multiline displays are really cool, had the abillity to try one out in May and it was really amazing what you can do with them.

I was in Marburg in 2014, and now I know that there are multiline displays too, but when I was there I didn't know and didn't asked them to show me these.
Would be cool to visit this city yet another time but afaik it's impossible now for a Russian citizen to get a German visa.

Yes indeed last year my colleagues went to the Sightcity (one month before I began working there), but since globally we're not the only company working on a tactile display it was not necesarily us you spoke with. Anyway, it's good to know that you would be a potential beta tester - should we need one some day, I know how to reach you.
