.Sh DESCRIPTION
The program encrypts or decrypts MOBI files with DRM schemes used on eInk devices. It is powered by
.Nm libmobi
library.
.Pp
It may encrypt documents targeting particular device by using its serial number or applying generic DRM scheme targeting all supported readers.
.Pp
Optionally encryption may be valid only during chosen period. Kindles require both start and end date to be set.
This tool allows to specify only one date (start or end).
In such case the other date will be automatically set to respectively lowest (1970-01-01) or largest (10136-02-16) valid value.
.Pp
In case of hybrid files mobidrm separately encrypts both enclosed parts and produces two files: mobi for legacy format and azw3 for KF8 format.
.Pp
The program also decrypts documents. One must supply device serial number or document PID if DRM was applied for specific device.
.Pp
Invoked without arguments prints usage summary and exits.
