Adding for people who want sources:
There are quite a few places especially technical ones. However, many major pulishers don't offer them, so you then have the choice of DRM stripping, searching for illegitimate copies or giving up/in and using a DRM copy somehow.

Note places like ebooks.com don't sell exclusively DRM free, so you will need to check per book. I returned one to them and got a refund because of my mistake in buying a DRMd copy.

- bayindirh 5y agoAdd Manning, No Starch Press, InformIT (Pearson) to that list. They somehow watermark your books though, but they don't contain any DRM. O'Reilly was very good. Now they only rent their books via Safari. I feel betrayed.
