For what it’s worth, DriveThruComics sells common PDF files. These files are not machine-locked. They can be read on any machine that can display a PDF file. They can also be read, copied and backed up on an unlimited number of machines/drives.

In addition, individual publishers on DriveThru can choose whether to watermark, disable copy/paste, and disable printing on the PDF files that they sell. The only restriction I’ve placed on the digital versions of my LORE comics is a tiny watermark in the corner of the PDF. Readers are free to copy/paste and print from my PDF files.

That said, I’m looking into self-publishing on the Amazon Kindle and ePub formats in order to reach a wider audience.

Forgive me for mischaracterizing your take on it. I appreciate your clarification, that you object to the way they’re being produced and sold, not them as a product.

For the record, I don’t think e-books or digital comics suck at all. Actually, I like the experience (and love it in terms of comics).

I just have criticisms, as noted.
