I think their encryption option is only for PDF and ePUB.

And while no doubt Lulu are taking a bit off the top, I suspect that the $0.99 fee PER SALE for adding DRM means that big publishers must be paying Adobe at least $0.50 per sale for the DRM.

DRM - bad for customers, publishers and authors.

Just came across an article which spoke about Lulu.com, I hadnt heard of them before, but it looks interesting for those wishing to self publish - http://www.lulu.com/publish/ebooks/?...hp5_ebk_110209

On a side note, I'm curious to know what kind of encryption they are using if they can apply it to many differnet types of documents - word/rtf/epub/pdf?
