Then you can have multi-media and DRM. RFN

Why do you want DRM?
Why would you cut out a big portion of your market?
I am sorry but I would not download some website to my phone. I don't know you (generic you) well enough. For all I know you might be a phisherman or a leper.
All DRM does is make it harder on honest people.
Now if I wanted to host my ebook on my website, I would have it available in all the common formats epub, mobi and pdf. I would also have it on as many major book sellers that I could find.
Oh for your benefit I just looked on Amazon. Just in the sports fishing category, there are 1,263 ebooks on fly fishing.
Why would you make it harder on your potential customers?
I think your idea is cool, but I don't think you will get many hits.
Note, I will use Amazon as an example. Let's say I want a book on fly fishing. I find your website. Ok first you want me to download the website to be able to read it. Will the website be able to remember where I left off, will it sync between devices and most importantly will I need special software to read this book?
What kind of information do you need from me if I want to download your book?
Whereas I can go over to Amazon (or my chosen device site) and grab a book with one small click and it will go to any of my registered devices. If need be, I can then go to MYCAD and send it to the rest easily.
No hoops, no muss, no fuss and I am reasonably certain Amazon is safe.
