Adobe is no longer supporting eBooks. This is unfortunate. I had hoped to send a few digital review copies of Crafty TV Writing to a few friends, but I don't want a digital copy of my book floating around the Net and winding up on Bittorrent. With Adobe ebooks, you can sell or give away a digital copy of the book that can only be read on one computer, and neither printed nor passed along. Dammit, that functionality is gone.

Any of you tech boys know a good, cheap program that will do that?

If you're making the PDFs yourself you should be able to watermark it, perhaps with the reviewer's name on every page. That will at least tell you who the leak is.

I found this list of secure ebook programs. Never having actually used these things I can't comment but maybe it will help your decision:
