    What software do you need?

    Most ebooks nowadays are PDF files. Write your book in OpenOffice and save it as a .pdf file. (eventually in M$ Word and make it a pdf file)

    Don't worry about security - you don't want pissed off buyers.
    If it is good content... it will be stolen anyway

    Define "distribution"!
    (People usually sell it.)

      Thanks for the reply, By distribution, I meant a system for automated digital delivery after the sale.

  • Distribution can be a simple as setting up a Paypal
    button which will send out a download link after
    the sale...

    All the way up to Sam Stephens' DL Guard that will
    provide an expiring download link as well as being
    encrypted to keep people from finding your DL folder
    and linking to it. (I think)

    If you use a script like Rapid Action Profits to sell your
    product, you get the same expiring link as well as
    encryption to protect your download folder, plus,
    you can pay your affiliates instant commissions to
    entice them to make more sales for you.

    awesome! Thanks I will look up the rapid action profits system. What about pushing it through clickbank or another affiliate service?
