Some good deals (buy 2 get 2 free)  They moved to a drm based subscription model, but because the books I bought were drm free I still can access them!&lt;p&gt;Manning still does this. (Thoug they embed your email address in the pages of the pdfs you download. I’m ok with that).  They market drm free as a feature, and I look there first when looking for tech books.&lt;p&gt;“What is Manning&amp;#x27;s DRM policy? What security restrictions are enabled on the PDF eBooks? Can I print, copy and paste, etc?&lt;p&gt;Manning eBooks are DRM-free. We do personalize each eBook with a license stamp in the footer of the PDF. There are no print or copy &amp;amp; paste restrictions on the PDF eBooks. You can also download your eBook as many times as you want, and put it on as many devices as you wish.”</text><parent_chain><item><author>idontwantthis</author><text>Purchased ebooks are like ebooks except you can only read them in Adobe&amp;#x27;s shitty app, you can&amp;#x27;t share them with your kids, and you are guaranteed to lose access to them in 10 years or tomorrow.&lt;p&gt;I want to purchase ebooks, but I want to own what I purchase!</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>ZLibrary domains have been seized by the United States Postal Inspection Service</title><url>http://3lib.net/</url></story>

They really don&amp;#x27;t want books easily disseminated DRM free on warez sites. Alongside this they can track what pages you read and even know how &amp;#x27;fast&amp;#x27; you are at reading.
