Given the subject matter, I felt it was important to make my short
eBook, "Open Access eBooks", as open an ebook as I could possibly make
it.

So I've made it available though the Internet Archive with a CC BY
license, in MOBI and EPUB formats.

I've also made it available with full "source" in GitHub, the source
control and management service we use for the software behind
unglue.it.

My blog post about finding ways to take advantage of "Free" books is here:

It's my hope that by the time you read this, the first successful
"ungluing campaign" will have concluded, so hurrah for sustainable
open access!

Eric
