Default If you sell me an ebook, I still want to be able to print a hard copy!

I booted up my computer to print out an ebook I bought yesterday. It was a pdf file. It looked great on my monitor screen, but I wanted to print out a copy and read it away from the computer...

Not this ebook! Printing was dis-abled. Don't ever do this to me...if I want to print a copy, I should be able to print a copy.

I understand that someone can print a copy, run off a zillion copies at OfficeMax and distribute them...but who is going to do that in these days and times.

Yes, the file was locked. I entered a password to open the book...but look! It created a Temp file called c154.pdf. What if I saved that file and tried to open it...bet I don't need a password now...

Oh, well...I may never finish reading this ebook since I must read it off the monitor...

Please, please, please--tell me before I buy your ebook that I can't print a hard copy. (Then, of course, I may not buy it--which is why you didn't tell me in the first place, right?!)

Bah, Humbug!

Merry Christmas, everyone...
