Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Would this be possible to do? Publishers would usually use different ISBNs for this, giving it all away, but apparently self-publishing is a thing

Self publish, provide ocr-free pdfs (i.e. images where you can't highlight the text) no epub or mobi because if you can extract the text, it would be easy to diff the text. And there are tools to ocr un ocr'd pdfs with varying degrees of error....maybe take up book binding and mail print bound books with beautiful artwork no one would want to deface....how much work you want to put into this joke?
