There seems to be eBook security software to protect my eBooks for customers who use PC's. But I haven't found anything to protect my eBooks from users. I seem to be getting a lot of buyers who are using macs these days.

Do you know of an eBook security software program to protect my eBook when they buyer has a ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Kelly

Are you talking about password protecting a pdf?

You can even do that using a :

Open Office will password protect your pdf even for users

Thanks, Larry.

Since I posted this question I found an expensive work around.  I''m converting the pdf book to an html file which requires lots of editing, hence the expense, and then having the html file locked up in a security program.

The advantages are two fold. It'll require a lot less servicing. It'll also enable me to do edits to the file whenever they are needed.

In the new html, there will also be imbedded a Tell-A-Friend feature which will allow the friends to receive sample chapters from the book. If I left it in pdf, the friends would require a pdf reader, which could result in more service issues.

It's book with viral potential.  Most everyone wants to spread the good news. Now my customers will have an easy way to do it. I'm hoping that the third party recommendations will have a positive impact.

The best to you.
