- I could just remove the first/last page.
- I could overwrite the ID/info
- I could run the PDF through OCR software to produce a new untagged PDF.
Unfortunately, ebooks and piracy go together like bread and butter. PDF is a portable document format and epub is just text. Your best bet is just to make it as pain-free to purchase as possible.
- kmfrk 16y agoAs long as it's only a hassle for the pirates, I don't consider it a problem. :) If it works, it works. If it doesn't, no one suffered for it.
- krabat 16y agoBesides, why shouldn't I be able to give away my book or re-sell it?! This bullshit about paying for a book is really just the borrowing price... just new techno babble to go with the copyright disputes. I want to re-sell any ebook I don't want to own anymore. And I am not going to just dump it without trying to find another home for it. How do we go about doing that - technically, I mean - never mind that "they" don't want you doing that? I seem to remember reading something about an English service, which somehow made book swopping possible... ? Anyone?
