Thank you Flavia and Nan,

I took a tour of all 3 options.  Yahoo store looks like a bit more than client needs.  Of the other two, e-junkie looks fine as it includes a
package which allows you to store the downloadable products on either their site or yours.  It's not clear to me how they would design the protection for unauthorized downloads but I assume once you sign on, you read the manual...
