Hello,

I am in process of developing an app for the educational sector, however 
have a issue.

The main application is in the play store, its free to download, however a 
subscription is necessary to download ebook's.

Once an ebook is downloaded (via the app) it is stored on the tablet, so it 
can be read offline.

Is there a way to protect the downloaded ebook's so it cannot be copied and 
freely distributed?

The main app can be freely distributed, its the ebook files that need to be 
protected. The eBook files are in a private format so its unlike a .pub etc

So far the ideas that i have are:

1. Each eBook is Encrypted. It is then decrypted when its called upon by 
the main app. The app has a stored password to decrypt the files.
2. Store the eBook's in a copy protected location on the internal hard 
drive. Files in this location cannot be copied, It can only be accessed by 
the app.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
