BookShelves
Support for opening ebooks protected with Readium LCP (Licensed Content Protection), the open DRM standard used by public libraries and bookstores worldwide.
LCP is the modern replacement for Adobe DRM. It protects borrowed and purchased ebooks while being easier to use — no Adobe ID required, just a library card or passphrase. LCP-protected books use the .lcpl file format.
With LCP support, you could:
- Open ebooks borrowed from your public library directly in BookShelves
- Read purchases from LCP-enabled bookstores
- Use BookShelves as your single reader for both personal and borrowed books
LCP is used by library lending platforms including Onleihe (Germany/Austria/Switzerland), PNB (France), MLOL (Italy), eBiblio (Spain), Lirtuel (Belgium), EBSCO, and others. Over 25,000 LCP licenses are generated daily worldwide.
