Google a little. Removing Adobe DRM is easy, and then you can read it on your e-reader or device of your choosing.

So much for "Portable

So much for "Portable Document Format" huh? :)

thinly disguised vendor marketing

... is of very little help. I don't see the ITIL books on there nor should I as that would be piracy. Sadly most of what is free about ITIL is thinly disguised vendor marketing, except for the itSMFUK Introduction, and of course this blog :)

A new service which only

A new service which only appeared recently - [URL removed] – search engine on ebooks. Its main purpose is to help users find the desired ebook (while searching by the author, title, part from the book) and download it for free.

Fair enough

I can't argue with the sentiment. However, I do use MSN Messenger and so I already have a .NET passport. Without it, you can't use the PDFs at all.

A good point of concern for those that are concerned with such.

Microsoft managing my digital identity

Yes it says "It can be used on another PC provided Adobe reader 6.01 or Adobe 7 has been installed, and by setting up a .Net Passport ". I for one don't have a Microsoft Passport and I don't plan to have them managing my digital identity any time soon either.

Identity is about trust and this may be the only time I ever use "Microsoft" and "trust" in the same sentence without the presense of a negative.

Multiple systems for PDF

One correction, it is possible to have the PDFs on more than one computer. I currently have them on three different computers and a portable hard drive (just in case I need to use them anywhere else). The DRM functionality allows you to enable the PDFs on six computers at any time just by logging in with your .NET Passport. As far as I can tell there are no limits on how many copies you can have, just how many computers you can see those copies on.
