@Doonge -- "They" == people who have tremendous, irrational objections to watermarking. Correct me if I am wrong, but I do believe you seem to be in that group.

After the irrational desire that this be the one and only area in your life where you aren't treated as a *potential* thief, watermarking haters always proclaim that pirates are going to try breaking into their computer to get the books they upload.

It really makes very little difference whether pirates are more likely to digitally break in or gain physical access -- the idea is still ludicrous. The pirates already have everything they need to upload all the books they want, and they don't need your files.
If it was going to be done for the lulz instead, they could just steal your financial info, as I already said.
Revenge in family matters? Again^^ -- plus that seems rather overwrought.


I simply don't consider your complaints to be valid -- that is why I suggested you use full disk encryption, because I was assuming you are the paranoid type, and paranoid types should always use full-disk encryption.


If the police really do find your books scattered in the wild, I expect your account will be shut down, and not much else (it fits the timid mindset of the average publisher). Perhaps you don't deserve to buy ebooks, if you are a magnet for such ridiculous occurrences.
