Hello, i want to create ebook reader application in c#.
I want to know which DRM systems exists for using with ebooks.
Thanks.
Your link doesn't appear to have anything to do with e-books, or with the particular "DRM" (Digital Rights Management) that the OP requested. instead, it has something to do with shortwave radio broadcast.

Well if the ebook which you are supposed to read with the ebook reader is encrypted using a standard like OMA you may want to implement OMA-DRM client. The information for type of drm content is usually present in the headers for any content.
If its encrypted using any other DRM solution (read as proprietary) then you have to decrypt it using the specs(if available). However i think the content provider of such solutions will not open these specs for general use.
Hence my suggestion is to implement a standard solution if you can find any content provider with such a server.
Alternatively you can offer complete drm package, which includes a content server which will encrypt the data and your client (ebook reader) which will allow users to read the content. To achieve this you have to tie up with the ebook authors to allow them to publish their ebook via your server.
