You emailed me once. I am a very responsible seller. There are no problems with the e-book. The e-books (electronic book) are meant to be read on a computer screen, although I have allowed printing of the book from the PDF file. However, to protect my intelectual rights, when printed, the K10D book shows a copyright watermark on each page. I do sell the printed version, that has no copyright watermarks. If I were to allow complete printing and manupulation of the e-book, some unscrupulous person(s) would likely copy and distribute the books or sell the books for their own profits. It takes at least 500 hours to write such book. I know you understand. All you have to do is reverse the situation. Would you give away your intelectual rights if you were in my shoes? You can purchase the printed version anytime.

P.S. I regret that you have brought this situation to the forum, but that still does not make it right to want the same priviledge with an e-book as with a printed and bound book.

Best Regards,


Yvon Bourque
Yvon, I wonder - what will prevent the bad guy from just giving away a copy as a .PDF file instead of going through the hassle of printing it ?

Hi Yvon

I cannot open the pdf without having to enter the password, ALARM, everytime. When viewed on screen your copyright is still present over the text. I did not mention printing by the way!

Peter, this thread is about an AF chart downloadable for free. Your behavior is out of line. If you want to purchase the printed K10D book, you will need to go to the website www.pentaxdslrs.com and pay for the printed version plus shipping. Every e-books have restrictions, that's why you pay less, but you have the complete version of the book and a watermark does not refrain the ability to read the complete book. I will no longer reply to this subject on this forum. The email there is yvon@k10dbook.com

Yvon is a very good seller. I purchased his book on line a while back and when I thought that delivery was overdue, I telephned him. He had just gotten back home after a photo trip to Yosemite. To make up for the delay, he immediately mailed me the electronic PDF version. The book arrived two days later. I feel that was more than what could be expected from a seller.
