Until that is answered no need to worry about anything else.

For the books you've converted is it possible to put some security setting on the files that would protect us from that risk?
Thanks"

I know they are being unreasonable, that's a fact of life, ask any supplier to major supermarkets. I just don't even know where to begin. Not quite true, I'm looking at Adept, but fail to see what I need to do to implement even this on their books.

John.
My question stands if they are not paying extra to include the drm, then tell them not happening.

P.S.
Here is one publisher solution to eARC's in the wild. No drm
