I think ANY personal information that's put inside the PDF will do
the trick.

This ebook sold for the personal use of brad_at_elstore.com.

You are not permitted to make copies or email this to others.

Then I would go one more step -

A free preview copy of the first x pages/chapters/whatever is at
blah blah blah, you can send
this url or the preview copy to your friends.

I'm also wondering if anyone is doing audio in their PDFs. GSM wav
audio is 2k a second, a book that
narrates itself might be a product differentiator and also
attractive - listen to the ebook while you browse the web.

I also noticed the other day when I did a save as of a page, it
offered a mth file, that contains everything on the page - html,
images, etc.

And while looking for somehting else, I noticed an all in one html
email with cib: image tag's, and the images were mimed into the
email.

Where I am going with this, is could you make an html ebook that
contains a) it's own images, all in one file, and b) multiple
pages?

And I mean one that IE will understand.

I suppose you could do it with an html help file.
