Can we read Kortext books on other e-readers like Kindle/Kobo/reMarkable? Kortext is a smart study platform as well as an online bookstore. Especially for University students, academics, and librarians, they can find various useful resources here. As known as Kindle in the educational field, Kortext also provides access to over half a million digital textbooks content from over 1,000 of the world’s leading educational publishers. However, it seems that other e-ink devices are used more widely in our daily life.
Does Kortext books work on other eReaders like Kindle/Kobo/reMarkable?
Currently, Kortext books are not available on other platforms like Amazon Kindle because of DRM protection.

You’re able to download them in the Kortex apps for offline reading. But the Kortext books you download for offline reading are still DRM-protected.
