Re: [GNU-linux-libre] no drm book

[Jacob K]

Hello ali,

Since Denis suggested this might be a better conversation for the 
Drm-elimination-crew mailing list, I decided to send this message there 
too. Hopefully that's okay (I'm somewhat new to mailing lists so I'm not 
sure.).

One publisher I know of is Open Book Publishers [1]. I do not have any 
experience with publishing books anywhere and have not bought any books 
from them, but they offer physical books and ebooks which I think have 
no DRM, and some of the books are libre. I considered buying a physical 
libre book from there once, but the JavaScript, though arguably 
free-licensed, did not have a link to source code, and I thought the 
price might be more than I was willing to pay, so I never got around to 
asking if source code was available. I was also unable to easily 
download the ebook without JavaScript.

Interestingly, I do not see this publisher on the DBD list of places to 
get books.
