Just examining their meaning of free.<p>They are free to purchase if you give them your name and email. So free as in 'free beer'<p>They are however covered by copyright. If they are really free presumably I could put them all on one site and let you download the whole 243 in one zip?
is there anyway now to buy an oreilly ebook?<p>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<p>but i cant find anyway to buy simple pdf or epub ebooks from oreilly<p>very weird business decision in my opinion
I have an account on their site, but that apparently doesn't let me get these books without having to manually enter my info... unless I've missed something?
