Each BookFob memory stick has a built-in unique identifier.  This unique identifier acts as the key to decrypting the content of the stored e-book for viewing.  By possessing the BookFob, this insures that you are the legitimate owner of the book.  Content is not capable of being shared on the Internet or copied and distributed.   This should ease authors’ and publishers' concerns and insure maximum security of their documents

Simply, ebooks cannot be copied and/or shared over the Internet in a digital format.  The BookFob device must be attached to the computer to verify ownership of the e-book content.  Entire documents or sections of the document can be password protected to insure an additional layer of security.  In addition to passwords, the documents can be set to expire after a certain number of days or number of times accessed.  This technique allows an author to distribute promotional material or full books for a limited time before making the content unreadable. 

Another important security feature of our e-book reader software is the ability to distribute books that are not printable as well as the ability to disable the copy and paste features.  Since these documents are complied into the reader, this insures that no one will be able to hack or copy the contents unless the author approves.

It is possible that multiple ebooks could be packaged and stored on a single BookFob memory stick.  In this case, all e-books would be encrypted with the same unique fob identifier. 

Each BookFob media is assigned a unique electronic standard book number or Numly Number which is registered with Numly, the official media id registrar.  The licensee of the unique media id is trackable by the author or publishing company as the rights of the electronic media can be updated.
