I can tell you that coding it wouldn't be difficult. Calibre already automates creation of uuids and "fake" ASIN when converting or sending ebooks to the Kindle as well as automatic cover creation. The creation aspect for this isn't really more difficult than that. This link has an example for watermarking PDFs. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...load-the-files Quite trivial to change the static text in those scripts to a variable with information such as: name, email, IP address, timestamp, order #, etc. There's also a Google Chrome plugin that allows one to back up DRM'd comics from comiXology. The plugin automatically adds a non-visible watermark of the username to the captured images. Why aren't there solutions available if it's so easy to do? Good as they might be for consumers (since there's effectively no DRM), watermarks aren't a significant deterrent to sharing. It can identify who purchased ebooks uploaded to torrents and other file sharing avenues (assuming you have someone actively monitoring those). Someone who just shared the ebook to friends, families and co-workers? Not really. Last edited by ilovejedd; 06-28-2018 at 10:28 AM. |
