How did you create the original locked pdf?
If you have the book in some word processor format, then it should be a matter of 10 minutes work to change:
- page size to 90x120mm
- margin size to 2mm
- font size to something reasonable
and print the thing into a new pdf file
I can help you if you wish, just send me a private message.
Locked pdf did not prevent me from extracting the text (and I will read the book on my e-ink reader as soon as I finish the book I am reading at this moment), and it will definitely not prevent a determined "pirate". It will, however discourage your not-technically-inclined potential reader from loading it onto his / her e-ink reader.
I have simply fed the pdf to the Readiris OCR program that was bundled to the cheap scanner/copier/printer/fax combo from HP I got at work.
This way I do not even need to care about the broken paragraph lines you get by copy & paste from acrobat (or text export from GSview, in case of locked pdf files)
