- listic 14y agoAre they if I buy them through Amazon?
- oneandoneis2 14y agoDunno - I don't buy ebooks from Amazon. See above :) More to the point - why would you?? Going via Amazon is just adding one extra step to a transaction. Buy direct.
- pasbesoin 14y agoBuy them directly from O'Reilly. Tim O'Reilly and crew were early and full-throated in their support for DRM-free content, and they deserve your support. You can also watch one of their pages/blogs (it used to have an RSS feed, too, IIRC) for frequent sales, if you are looking for discounted prices.
- johnrgrace 14y agoThey don't have DRM
- johnrgrace 14y agoAnd you can resell their DRM free ebooks. Just let that sink in for a minute.
- cynwoody 14y agoDo they make you promise not to resell a book more times than you bought it?
- nsp 14y agoUnsurprisingly, yes. You have to delete the book after you sell it. Relevant quote: "Resale: If you buy an O'Reilly ebook, when you are done with it you may resell it, provided that you do not retain any copies of the book after you sell it. This is the same as the situation when you sell a used print copy—when you sell the copy, you deliver it to the buyer and no longer have a copy in your library. If you have bought a hard copy/ebook bundle, you may of course retain the hard copy, if you sell the ebook." - Under more about usage. Still an awesome policy.
