Hi all,

This is my first post on here but I am very lost. I am a merchant and am considering offering a book I am currently writing as either an ebook or a real book. I'm currently debating how I'm going to bind the books for the physical copies of the books, but for the ebooks I think I'm going with the software Calibre.

I've done a bit of reading on Calibre and understand that you can upload a PDF version of your book into Calibre and that will work for the upload process.

However, what about DRM? I really think DRM is going to be necessary for my ebooks because of the fact that I don't want people to be able to pass my book along to others without them paying for it.

Does Calibre have that capability? Thanks.
