is there anyway now to buy an oreilly ebook?
they stopped selling ebooks via their own website, you can access the books online if you have a safari subscription, and you can buy kindle versions on amazon
but i cant find anyway to buy simple pdf or epub ebooks from oreilly
very weird business decision in my opinion

- ocdtrekkie 9y agoFWIW, if you haunt the Humble Book Bundle, you will end up acquiring a significant percentage of O'Reilly's library over time. O'Reilly itself does bundles there fairly often, and O'Reilly imprints like Make: and No Starch have put all but a few books that they've published in the last several years up in humble bundles. One of the last bastions of good DRM-free eBooks is Pearson/InformIT, which includes a lot of big ones like Cisco Press, Microsoft Press, Addison-Wesley, Que, Sams, etc.
- billpollock 9y agoNo Starch Press is not an O'Reilly imprint. We have no affiliation with O'Reilly. We do sell our ebooks through Safari though.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoSomehow I had the impression, maybe you guys sold through O'Reilly when they sold ebooks straight up too? Thanks for the clarification! (And you guys rock.)
- sohkamyung 9y agoO'Reilly sells their books DRM free on Google Play Store [1] in both PDF and ePUB formats. But the quality of the produced ePUB and PDF books may vary. You might be able to get a idea by checking the content in the provided "Free Sample". [1] https://play.google.com/store/books https://play.google.com/store/books
