I by DRM-free books from O'Reilly. I wonder if they're profitable, or if O'Reilly does it for the good of mankind, or to make some other point. Or maybe they're just profitable.
Whatever, I have no reluctance at all to buy an O'Reilly ebook. DRM books make me nervous. What happens to them when I die? The "Rights" in DRM refer to the sellers or publishers rights, not mine.
I'm sure they're profitable. People were pirating O'Reilly books long before "ebook" was even a word. Didn't stop the authors from being reasonably compensated.
