Here’s a clever way to stop ebook theft… It was done manually by a seller but I’m sure it could be automated for immediate download.
I purchased an online manual that would arrive in adobe acrobat’s Portable Document File format.
Instead of making it downloadable, they sent the book by email.
It’s obviously a book created on a Word or Word Perfect document printed out as the PDF file.
After receiving the order, they opened up the master file and in the footer that appears on every page typed “This book prepared exclusively for….”
I liked the personalization but obviously keeps their ebook from being given away as a freebie.
Try it yourself. Obviously unless you can automate this “branding” a best selling ebook will keep you VERY BUSY! (And customers used to immediate download may get upset since the delayed access wasn’t mentioned till after payment in this case.)
