Hi, I have been planning to publish my book as an e-book, but from what I'm reading on security I'm now considering just printing a few hundred copies at a time and letting the buyers pay the difference. It is a technical book with a specific market so not something where I expect to sell a million copies. I'll leave that to Mr King a few miles up the road, when he is home. Am I too overly concerned about theft? Once someone breaks the security and starts distributing my work for free or selling it, I don't see where it would be financially possible to stop them. Any thoughts on e-book security and its risks or the choice between a print or electronic product? There will be a web page associated with this information for Q&A and one thought is to limit access to that site to those who have a registered e-book. And since e-books are less expensive, hopefully many wouldn't find it worth the time to pirate a copy. Input much appreciated Bud

Hello, I have a question regarding obtaining copies from print offices. I have a printer/scanner/fax but got discouraged buying ink for the machine at $80 for ink. I don't need copies often but when I do, my ink is dried out and won't print well. I now download what I need to a thumb drive and take it to a local Fed-Ex print office in my area. They print copies from the thumb drive for about 21 cents a copy! What a savings! My question is should I clear my thumb drive of any personal information(previous information printed earlier) when I go to have more information printed for copies? They only print what I ask for but do their machines read and store everything on a thumb drive? It's information only important to me such as SS amounts, last will and testament, family death certificates, etc. How does that work when we use others to print for us? Thank you for all your good information here!
