How to make ePub encrypted?
I've created ePub using XHTML/CSS manually without using any conversion program. How to make it DRM protected or encrypted?

You would be best to contact Adobe on their DRM for ePub. But why bother? We can already strip it.

I don't think it is possible for an individual to add Adobe DRM to an ePub. You will have to find a (self) publishing house that does this for you. Scribd was going to support DRMed ePub, but currently all I see is DRMed PDF. You may want to start with them (80% to the author).

You can set up your own Adobe Content Server, but prices start at $6,500 for the software (of course this isn't practical in most instances)...

I suppose one could develop their own DRM for an ePub instead of using Adobe's method, of course it's likely few would be able to actually read it. |

But the greatest irony is that publishers are actually silly enough to pay Reminds me off the famous story about Kalidasa, who once tried to saw off a tree branch, while sitting on it! |

If the publisher is insisting on the book being released as a DRM'd ePub, then DRMing it (licensing the content server, etc) is their responsibility. That's part of the publishing process, and one of the many things the publisher should handle.

It's generally something the distributor (OverDrive, LightningSource, etc.) is going to do, not the publisher.

[invoke_ePub_DRM_????] (Enter your four digit PIN in place of the ????) Yeah...that should work. Then send it to all of us here at MR without the PIN and see if we can open it. |

BTW...if you believe that will work, I want to talk with you about the 85,000 gallons of land I have for sale a few miles east of Miami.
