[edit] Format features
The format features Compression and Encryption on all content among other features.
Encryption levels include 'Personal Edition' strength where the file creation tool is internationally exportable, and 'Professional' strength available only to industry.
Encryption is used for DRM (Digital rights management) although all data is encrypted. A second optional encryption can be used to password protect the contents.
The compression system is not 'streamed' continuously from beginning to end of the content, but rather handles data in blocks to allow the reader program to quickly return to last page and makes better use of small devices lower speeds and storage.
Other format features include: Ability to Print flag, Valid Times for dated material, Multi-media file inclusion, internal and external links, Table of Contents, and the ability to encode more than ten devices into the DRM system.
[edit] Typesetting
The eBook text format is free-flowing as opposed to typeset, meaning the rendering program is free to choose font, text sizes, and color. Simple formatting commands are supported, such as Bold, Underline, Center, Page Break, etc.
