Once you install Adobe Digital Editions, you create an account under which you can initially authorize 6 machines and 6 mobile/tethered devices to which DRM-protected eBooks can be transferred. You can then authorize one additional machine and one additional mobile device every 12 months.

eBooks published by Lulu authors can be downloaded by the buyer an unlimited number of times, but only to his/her registered Adobe Digital Editions machines (see: How many devices can I activate with Adobe Digital Editions?). The license for the eBook is irrevocably tied to the buyer’s ADE account and machine(s). This means that if a buyer downloads your eBook and emails it to friends, the book will not open on their machines. The eBooks we’re now listing from other authors & publishers have a limit of 4 successful downloads per purchase.

Publishers can specify whether you can copy or print DRM-protected eBooks. Lulu currently set these options to “no” for all DRM-protected eBooks published on Lulu. Other publishers listing eBooks on Lulu may or may not allow a set number of pages to be printed/copied, this is up to the individual publisher.

Some books are not allowed to be sold in some locations, because the eBook’s publisher only has a right to sell that book in certain countries. You might find that the eBook you want isn't available in your country.
