Selling eBooks in PDF Format
I've recently been experimenting with producing my novels in tagged PDF format, and selling them over the internet. I've found Acrobat Reader works great on my PPC with tagged PDFs. Adobe recently fixed some bugs which made scrolling difficult, and now I can read like the blazes with it. I personally think the other e-book formats overdo when it comes to security, and I don't prefer to use them.
I'm still trying to work out the best combination of pricing and securing the Acrobat e-books, to minimize undesired file swapping and maximize profit. My thinking is, a low enough price will allow anyone to purchase the e-books, and minimize the desire to take free copies from friends, newsgroups, etc. Then a simple DRM of including the buyer's name and CC# in the doc properties will discourage anonymous file swapping.
Any thoughts out there?
