Thanks for the post. This is valuable information for us illiterate people who want to write anyway!

If people are copying your book, you can rest assured your books are already selling 10 000 copies...

Is there any ebook format that really is secure?? I've seen the non-copyable 
(supposedly) ones and they don't even look like a book, just a 1000 
word-long web page.  You can lock a PDF with a password and prevent it from 
being copied, but that is about it. But a traditional book is the same way. 
I routinely buy a book and then pass it on to someone I think might like it. 
Same deal. If you make your password some monster thing (mine are typically 
30 characters), you won't get too many pirates.

So...how do you turn a PDF into an eBook? What is the difference? And is anyone aware of a way to make the PDF/eBook turn pages. Like pagegangster or Virtual paper?
