"Breaking into" a .prc file

I'm trying to convince someone who about to publish a fanzine in an 'e-version' that it would be a good idea to offer a real ebook format beside PDF.

Her biggest concern is that, I qoute: "What really gives me a headache is that people can change the text."

As far as I know, it's difficult unless you have specialist knowledge to actually change text in a .prc file. Am I correct? I mean, I suppose it could be done... or can it?

Besides, it's my opinion that it's fairly straightforward to copy from a PDF and that it's much more likely that someone would do that than try to get into the prc file. Or they might try the prc file, but I've just tried and it doesn't look like it's neither straightforward to do, nor to find instructions for doing so.

PS: I'm looking for practical answers, not opinions whether PDF is a good idea or not. I'm just trying to help someone and show that there are other options that are just as good (or better) than PDF when it comes to protect the text.
