    can a google bot crawl the content of my ebook which is offered at my site and if the content is duplicated, will google mark my book as "duplicate content"?

    another question: if i use the content of other's ebook and publish it on my site, any chances that google bot will take that as duplcate content?

    If you are hosting the ebook on your site, you can restrict the access of the Google bot (to index the ebook folder) with the .htaacess file :)

    My Dear Friend

    Definitely Google can easily crawl the content on e-book unless it is in image type format. If you are not interested to crawl that ebook you can either block any robot by robot.txt or make your ebook in compress zip format. so that google can't crawl it
