  1. Why hasnt anyone tried to develop a file format that would prevent the books from being downloaded or straight copied? Copying them by hand would be akin to memorizing a paragraph at a library then transcribing it at home. There are websites that prevent the visitor from copying text on them, this would be similar. I dont see why this wouldn't solve the issue they're having.

  2. It would also be theoretically safer than pdf if the file cannot be downloaded and reuploaded with injected malicious code.

  3.  @vaikjsf34a  so what, the purpose of these methods is to decrease piracy not eliminate it. The same way locking your door is meant to decrease the odds of having strangers gain access. There will always be people willing to break your windows, you don't care about those.
