Quote from: smashed on August 07, 2012, 06:42 pmyou managed to successfully confuse me i will do some research and sort of understand what you are sayingcould you transfer pdfs to no internet enabled ebook reader and safely read them then?Sorry about that. I will try to upload a tutorial on 'local security' to take everybody through their paces sometime when I get a chance. I don't rush, I like to do things properly.Yes, it would be a good idea if you can be sure that the internet is disabled on your ebook reader. Be absolutely sure of that. You can't be sure that turning off whatever ebook downloading facility the Amazon Kindle might have would do the trick. And don't try this on an Apple product period. Apple is the North Korea of the software world, they think they have the right to surveillance everything, it's their culture. It amazes me they get away with things Google would be hammered by. Other than that, using an e-reader could be a good idea if you can either turn off internet access or better yet it doesn't come with that capability in the first place.-- Best Practices Thought --It would be a nice idea to find a 'special file' you have made or obtained yourself (from somebody trustworthy!). This is you deliberately trying to infect your machine with a trojan that will send you an email if it has managed to circumvent your security. I haven't even done this myself, but it sounds like a mighty fine idea to me.Better forewarned than forearmed.
