Websites are easy to hide behind a password barrier. But for epub that's a bit of a problem, it seems:

"The EPUB3 specification does not define any method for digital rights management. The Readium Foundation is working on lightweight DRM: http://readium.org/projects/readium-lcp, otherwise you will need to find a commercial DRM solution."
Not all books on Amazon have DRM. That is entirely up to the publisher.
So let me see if I have this correct, you want to turn ebooks into websites and websites into ebooks.
Will this be for your personal use or as a commercial venture? Or do you just want to see if it can be done?
