How does ebook watermarking work?
LemonInk is a cloud service used to secure digital books from piracy. It applies a digital watermark to each purchased ebook making it unique and traceable.
-
After each purchase LemonInk will create watermarked versions of your ebooks and attach them to the user’s order allowing them to easily download their individual copies.
-
Each file is digitally marked both visibly (by adding the purchaser's email address to its content) and invisibly (by embedding a series of obfuscated markers into an ebook's code).
-
This technique discourages users from publishing the files on the internet and allows you to track down those who’ve published them nevertheless.
