Shucks I just bought the PDF version of Programing Ruby 2nd Edition,
intending to read it on my PDA while travelling, and to my horror I
can't view it properly on my PocketPC! The words are all stuck
together, and the file is quite slow to load in adobe reader 2.0.
I would very much prefer chm books than PDF! damn...
Dave and Andy wrote a great Ruby book only to release it online costing
them many, many sales. I think its great that they were willing to
release the book in an easily distributable format with so few
restrictions on it.
From the PragProg PDF FAQ:
Are the PDF files restricted?
There is no copy protection or functionality restrictions in the PDF
files. You may view or print them for personal use as you see fit.
You may not give your PDF version to other people. For your
protection, the PDF file you order is personalized with your name and
other identifying information.
You can buy multiple licenses of a PDF file for your team or
organization, in which case the PDF will be stamped with the number of
allowed licenses. We'll only send you one, so as to conserve
everyone's bandwidth.
