Hi Dave,
It is altogether possible that some kind of password could be created,
however, this involves a license of some kind with Microsoft. That is a
frightening prospect.
And, I agree with you about PDf, although Adobe and the screen reader
developers tell us how accessible it is, I avoid it when I can.

Hi Rich and list:
Why couldn't a passworded activation system be set up for *.lit files
just
as Bookport transfer does with Audible activation? Both are proprietary
formats.
Even if you can gain access to the text contained in a PDF file, it
probably
wouldn't be of much use. The manuals that I have attempted to read in
PDF
have only small bits of text that only make sense if you could see the
pictures around them. But for what it's worth, dig into Adobe Reader and
extract the text, just as is done with Word for Word and rtf files.
Cheers,
Dave
