I actually went looking for this program after my first flit through this forum, and haven't been able to find it. Could you possibly send me a download URL? I'd sure appreciate it. (I think that's when I started feeling totally dumb. )

thanks!
Bookdesigner is in my Signature, as well as my get started guide.

http://www.fictionwise.com/ seems to be a popular site for both DRM and DRM Free Books.

The Pirates do have your books already (the dance of rings trilogy atleast) so you might as well try a DRM free publishing route.. it seems to work well for most authors. If your famous enough to be Pirated, your famous enough to make some money selling books.

If I Were you. what i would look into is:

Fictionwise DRM Free books,
Amazon Kindle, as i Expect this to be where most of your ebook sales to come from.
Selling and or Giving Away DRM free Copies of your books on your Website, this seems to have worked out very well for John Scalzi, and especially authors of Series by Giving away the First Book of a Series Free.

Also, I would Try to Milk the Media.. every month now there is an article of an Author giving away their books for free after learning about the mysterious pirates reading their book. Sales after one of those seem to shoot through the roof.
