They made PDF's readable on only one machine so that they could sell you
an e-book in PDF format. It's an option in Acrobat 4 and above. The
s/w builds a key file which locks the datafile to that particular box -
upon receipt of payment.
They did a demo of it with some public-domain books. I tried it, but my
daughter isn't sure she wants to hear "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
at all, and then when I put the mousepad and 17" monitor on the bed
;{)....sigh, e-books have a long way to go. And they will have to be
small and light - updated SURVPC's?
I am probably not going to be buying any PDF's for a while - but living
far from any good book stores (we're talking a 1 hour jet flight) -the
option has some appeal. Still,I guess I'm old. I like the dead-tree
variety....
