So we need a system, easy to integrate with our online store, in such a
manner that autorized users (whose who buyed our pdf e-book online)
might see the book under some conditions (for example only on one
machine).
I have experience as a customer with Syngress (IT specialist editorial)
electronic books,
and I am quite happy with their implementation, they use a .exe file that
installs the e-book
on the hard disk, then on opening the installed e-book (pdf format) it
asks for a fixed password
which is always the same in all the books I have.
From a user point of view it is very friendly, I don't need internet
connexion, I can keep a back
up copy and it is fairly easy to use.
I could put the book on a website with the password as it is always the
same, but because
it is a .exe file that needs to install in the computer my guess is that
it will put off many
people who are scared of viruses, and the e-book .pdf pages can't be
copied.
The only part that I don't like is that .exe only works for Windows.
There are other problems. Many companies frown upon adding more programs
since now you have another potential attack vector...
