Should I Copy Protect my eBook?
Hello, Barbara,
What a great site you have! ... I have recently started to research additional ways to generate income from my Internet efforts, and to cut to the chase, have one question that seems to have a fairly elusive answer. I'm hoping you can help.
Is it possible (and,I suppose, recommended) to copy-protect an ebook?
Thank you for your time and attention.

Dear George,
I do not copy protect my ebooks because I think that some theft will happen one way or another, and the EFFORT it takes to:
1) copy protect the ebooks
2) provide customer support to those clients who have trouble with the copy-protection
is not worth it.
I think your time will be better spent on marketing your e-book.
Marketing is a task that makes money. Stopping a few thieves doesn't.

Hi-I just purchased 70,000 ebooks with the right to resell. Seemed easy but, I thought about and I really have no clue of what to do. Can I just put them on ebay or do you have to do the whole website thing, and the clickbank thing to get rid of them and make money?

I really hope this gets to you. I'm interested in marketing an E-book, truth be told- i don't have a single clue how to go about it. Can you please fill me in on the details? I'll really appreciate it.
Thanks a Bil.
