Many of the ebooks sold on eBooks.com are encrypted to protect the rights of authors. They use Digital Rights Management technology (DRM) to do this. When a file is protected with DRM, you’ll need to install a free, publisher-approved app in order to unlock it. We recommend that you install Adobe Digital Editions for a computer.
1. How to download an ebook to a PC or Mac
Step 1Install Adobe Digital Editions(short for ADE) on your computer. You need this free software in order to unlock and read your ebook.
Step 2Authorize ADE: With the program open on your computer, click Help > Authorize > select Adobe ID as your eBook vendor and then > type in your Adobe user name and password, or create an Adobe ID if you don’t have one.
Step 3Return to eBooks.com library and click Download next to the ebook you want to download.
Once you have authorized ADE successfully, you only need to do the first two steps once. In future, just click 'Download'.

Not only does it strip DRM protection, but it also facilitates conversion to various formats like PDF. Below is a step-by-step guide for decrypting ebooks purchased from eBooks.com.
