ALL ebook formats are crackable.  So it is almost inevitable that a book released as an ebook will be cracked and distributed.


This doesn't necessarily mean that it is inherently a bad idea though. Not all readers will have the inclination or ability to obtain an illegal copy - if it is reasonably cheap and easy to purchase.


In my mind the best option would be

  1. Initial print run
  2. 6 months after print version, ebook versions:
    1. 300 DPI PDF version (direct sale from website)
    2. Kindle formatted version via Amazon

The easiest is a simple PDF of the printed book. If you have an iPad Pro or something, this can be a very nice way to consume the book. This could also be sold directly without having to pay Amazon or Kobo or another company.


Then, a Kindle formatted version. Harder to do.
