I am not sure steg encoded files can be decoded visually. The data are buried in the jpg (or whatever) file in a non-visible way. That is what makes it hidden data. However the reported abstract picture that encodes a dense amount of data is attractive (visually and technologically), and could be the book cover. I wonder if they are unique for a given book.

I would like to see pBook publishers put some kind of encoded data in the pBook, so it could be read and put on my reader, whatever the reader may be in the future. I know, I know, it opens them up to piracy. But it would give us the best of both worlds. How about putting an honesty drug in the drinking water?
