Under these conditions, can it be considered "safe" to put it at the disposal of other readers ? (Not that I fear much would happen anyway, but just for information.)
Thanks in advance.

Watermarking often buries information in the oddest places including steganography (information buried in images) and encoding in non-displayed areas.
As for putting the book at the disposal of other readers? Given your questions, it is pretty obvious that you are not the book's copyright holder or assign, so doing so would be considered ebook piracy. That is something that MobileRead does not condone.
