On DRM

One of our core concepts is that we don't have any DRM in our books. There's no extra software attached onto our files that locks them into any particular device. In practical terms, it means that you can download our books and read it on your iPad, your Kindle, your Android tablet or your laptop without having to do stuff like log into an account or authenticate with some service every time.

You'll see this DRM Free seal made by the Free Software Foundation on our download page. It's a quick way to see at a glance that the files you get here are DRM-free.

The decision to go DRM free was a simple one. We want the books we feature to be read by as many people as possible, and our authors want to be read by as many people as possible. Allowing buyers to enjoy these books on any device not only improves the experience, it helps reach the largest possible audience as well.

Rather than forcefully (and inconveniently) locking down our books, we believe that our readers are honest, and recognize that our authors deserve a little something for their work. Also, because people can pay what they want, it's easy to find a price that's right for anyone.
