From: Jessica Pellien <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2019 13:13:22 +0000 Hello all – It was mentioned in passing by Charles Watkinson, I think, but the MIT Press is also offering DRM-free ebooks via our new platform of MIT Press Direct. Nearly 3,000 books are included in Direct, across all disciplines, and we offer subject specific breakout collections, for those who only need specific disciplines. More info here: https://mitpress.mit.edu/mit-press-direct Our contact for library and institutional sales or trials is Emily Farrell [log in to unmask] Best, Jessica Jessica Pellien Executive Publicist and Communications Manager The MIT Press 1 Rogers Street Cambridge, MA 02142 [log in to unmask] cell – 857-998-1893 From: Adam Chesler <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2019 14:54:38 +0000 AIP Publishing will be launching a DRM-free books program in 2020, which will be integrated with our journals on the Scitation platform. The first titles in the initial, 40-book collection will be released next spring; a complete title list will be available in December 2019.

While liblicense-l doesn't normally post notices of new products for sale, this one caught my eye for offering “more than 8,000 individual DRM free eBooks across 22 subject areas and more than 170 eCollections available on Bloomsbury Collections.” Given that their collection embraces a variety of well-known ‘brands’ (Arden Shakespeare, I.B. Tauris books), this is a noteworthy offer. Are there other major e-book offerings that are DRM free? We'd be glad to hear of any, and also to receive comments on the approach for posting here.
