Thanks for the advice. I trust the people to whom I will give the book. They are doing an informal peer review so I have no worries that the book will be copied.
I am undecided on DRM. Personally, I loathe it. I believe that the only people it actually affects are the users. Some companies seem to get it right and it is as unobtrusive as possible. Valve (with their Steam platform) and Amazon are good examples. However, it might be that I have little choice on whether DRM is applied when I actually submit the book for final publication.
