ebook?

[DJ Samson]

I am currently in the editing stages of my new book. This book is about marketing and business adjustments in the motor sports industry. I'm going to be selling it in print through the internet and possibly through a blog that I may make to endorse it.

It's going to cost me about $180 for fifty copies of the book - and this includes shipping to my house. I'm going to sell the book for about $10 each which means I profit $500 from the sales of 50 books. Though this does not include marketing and other expenses.

It was suggessted to me that I make this in an ebook format too. I don't know alot about ebooks because I've never read a book online before - only in print. My fear is that someone will pay for the book and send it to the people they know - robbing me of my potential business. Is there a software to prevent this?

Also, is there a software program that e-mails the customer the ebook after they make a paypal transaction?

Sorry for the newbie questions. Thanks for your help.

you cant really stop the sending of files because even with encryption someone can pass the password to someone else

yup, this true..It depend on your buyer. Sometimes those who don't really care sharing their ebook will do this. I got an ebook that request me to enter the password for each time I want to view it. But, if i give this ebook to somebody with that password. It seem like that password is useless.
