This is precisely the reason why I don't (and have never) make a PDF of my book [1] available. It took me a couple of years to write, and while it doesn't make a lot of money by pro author standards, it's been the difference between me going broke during COVID and not.

Surely this would be an easily solved problem if Amazon cared to solve it?

Piracy sites are full of high-quality scans of books that don't offer PDF versions - even modern ones. Sometimes it's the only way to read an out-of-print book where a paper copy is simply impossible to find.

If your book blows up there will be people carefully photocopying the physical book and counterfeiting it for a profit.

I ran that same logic for Ace the Data Science Interview, and I'm facing the exact counterfeit issues as the OP!

I would buy this if there was a kindle version.
