I *liked* the idea of ebooks, before I got burnt.
Purchased two from a company which implemented some sort of "login/key-check" every time you opened the PDF...
Ok, that would have been fine, until 6 months later - when they went out of business...
Now, they won't open. I used a variety of tools (Adobe, Ghostscript, etc) but was only able to dump the postscript to a file. That's *ok*, but it only likes then being dumped to a printer, the security code is still embedded, I cannot make a new PDF...
dumping to a printer removes the whole reason for having an ebook in the first place.
