When you click a book and the page for that book pops up, under the book picture/info area is a list of other editions, which would include Hardcover, audio CD, audio Tape, and pdf.

Well, it must be OK if eBay allows it. Is it a secured file or something?

last time I saw a secured PDF it was tied to the MSpassport--couldn't view it on my other machine or when I wasn't online. That was microsoft's, but there are various products that handle this. adobe's own plan for digital rights management actually seems to be the weakest.

but I can't see how an ebook is handier...you can't take it to your workbench, and thanks to DRM, everybody has control of how much of it you can print out for reference--except for you. No thank you, I'll take the solid book, where at least I get control over my own ARM (analog rights management).

...xerox what I want to darnit...

if you think thats wierd, go to the ocls website
its my public library and they are offering a FREE ebook download, plus an mp3 of the book, though im not sure why you would want that.

im not a perfect person, its just the fact that everyone else sucks so bad
