Client wants to have online ebook store, so users can read books online only READONLy (without option to download them or copy content).
I assume that those books will be in PDF format stored on server (or it could be other format if there is some that is better for this task?!).
I was trying to find something in google about this, but without any luck. Probably, I was using incorrect keywords liek "displaying pdf without download option" etc. I know that ebook stores has some functionality like this.
Can you, please, give me some clues:
what is the concept, how this could be done (show content, but restrict users to downoad content)?
is it difficult task or there are some existing libraries (commercial or non-commercial) for this task?
The store would be written in PHP, but I can use other technologies if this makes it easier.
I understand that nothing is 100% for sure, I just need some ways to make it harder to steal for "normal" users.
I want to note that all content that client wants to publish is 100% legal for pubishing (clien has rights to publish those ebooks).
