Nice part for the author of an .exe file though, is it's much harder to steal the contents of that type of ebook.
I now write my ebooks using a little program I wrote which makes an hta (hypertext application) and a webpage for Mac users. It has some encryption in it to help keep the honest folks honest which is about all you can do anyway without inconveniencing someone so much they don't want your book AND because it's has all attributes of an html page I can use live feed from iframes in the book for updates, have videos embedded etc!

I really hope more people get away from static pdf files Ebooks can be so much more than what they are now
