All my books in my "technical library" are PDF and DRM free too. Some of my ebooks also contains my name in them - which was done as part of the purchase. The first time I saw it, I thought the "name in the book" was a pretty clever idea. :) I'm also very much against DRM'd eBooks. After all, printed books are not DRM'd. I can copy a printed book, lend it to someone, sell it to someone, destroy it etc.. So why should I not be allowed to do the same with eBooks? > If they really like to, they can generate each copy with the name of the > person who bought it as part of the PDF, so you can know if someone had > copied it. That is a good idea, and seems easy to do - considering that many digital shops do this lately.
