RE: Copy protection and Smashwords

I've done Apple and Kobo separately. Not hard at all. I haven't done Sony,
though.

Subject: [ebook-community] Copy protection and Smashwords

 

  

In reading Smashwords' policy, it seems as though they don't have any kind
of anti-copying protection on their ebooks, preferring instead to gently
remind readers not to share purchased copies. To be honest, this has
discouraged me from using Smashwords. However, I'm not sure how to go about
distributing my book to retailers without them - has anyone formatted their
book separately and supplied it directly to Apple, Kobo, Sony, etc?

My book's been available in Kindle format for over a year and is selling
quite well, but I'd like to make it available in other formats as well (as
long as it's copy-protected). Any advice is appreciated :)
