O'Reilly sells their ebooks without DRM. I haven't read their licensing terms, but I suspect them to be very liberal. Their page says they trust you to do the right thing.


Pragmatic Programmers too. This is the only sort of ebook I buy.


If your public library offers the Books24x7 service, you might just borrow these too. KCLS offers it and it's great. http://www.kcls.org/downloads/

Not necessarily O'Reilly, but many popular publishers -- Apress, Cengage, Cambridge University, Wrox Press, etc.


Manning doesn't use DRM with their ebooks either.


Apress, too.


So does Steve Jackson Games:

> A. No. That would interfere with your use of them.


The Take Control books are DRM-free as well. I bought my wife some of their books when she bought an iPod Touch.
