I'm a bit lost, this isn't the response I had envisioned. I started looking into it again and I think I ran into something I missed before and had given up. It seems it isn't so hard to do, mostly. Convert the Word Document into HTML and then convert to MOBI and EPUB and that should just about cover all the E-Readers. Now I guess is how to put in a 'code' to prevent sharing... What I would like to do is sell the book from my site, customer pays and they get to down load it and can't share it with their friends. So, I need to know at least what this 'code' is, a name, something. Plus I've tried to figure out how to take MasterCard and Visa to no avail, I've figured out PayPal and Google Pay but the customer just can't put in their card number, they have to sign up to use it.
SteelCurtain - What's a tracker? So give away the 1st one and the 2nd one. I think I can write another, but one at a time. Please explain, I don't understand the concept. Say, I have my site set up to sell PDF's, you don't think one person will buy it and share it like a pyramid scheme through each of their groups? One thing is, is that if I sell it it is better than the retailers rules where they put it up on a share site, give it away at their discretion, and take up to 70%.
Aractus - Public Libraries Act 1850 ? Can you explain what you think it is about so that when I try to read about its complexities again I can understand what your getting at? UK laws are new to me. I've always had a love hate philosophy with libraries. I found out the day before the cut off time (3 months) that you are suppose to hold off publication and let reviewers and the library system have your book first. So now no one will review it or will buy it for their shelves, I even took it to my local library and they were really happy and offish cause they know I'm an atheist and they don't want it there, they didn't even know what it is about, one just said 'Hawkins..' and they both kinda looked at each other.
Pony - Hmmm. I know Patent Law much better, I suppose that sucks too, right? I have a big problem with Sonny Bono, Disney, and our payed-off representatives with this 1922 block on copyright law ! I really don't understand completely cause isn't Disney a Japanese company now? How long shalt Mickey Mouse hold a gun to the heads of our law makers? I mean who really cares if someone makes mickey mouse's without Disney getting their $ after 94 years ! Plus holding back all those books with him.
SnakeOilWarrior - Digital Millennium Copyright Act? Now this I'm really confused over. Seems like the internet is alive and well with this impeding doom just fine. I wish you also could explain what you think it is about cause that looks like a huge document. I guess it is just me cause I use to work for the Just Ice system and have always tried to stay out of trouble. I went to extremes in my book not to have any copyrighted material cause I don't want to end up in court. I really don't understand the internet laws at all, I've seen many many sites that use pictures all the time I know are copyrighted and nothing seems to happen. I would love to use images of ancient artifacts from museums but legally can't, I get a bit up set because if they are publicly funded, we should be able to use a silly photograph of it ! Hey, if the professional photographer wants his money that is fine, but let in an amateur to shoot the object also! To me it is intentional suppression of knowledge, who cares if there are pictures of priceless objects out on the net? Plus they only let the Academia that is stripped of originality near the stuff and they can cite it all they want cause they answer their club emails, me they block.
