O’Reilly No Longer Selling Individual Books, Videos Online

They are continuing to publish books and videos, “and you’ll still be able to buy them at Amazon and other retailers.” They also make it clear that we will not lose access to already-purchased content, updates to such content, etc. More details can be found in the FAQ. No mention, though, of whether the content sold at these other retailers will remain DRM-free… From the FAQ: “You can buy all of the books (ebooks and print) at shop.oreilly.com from Amazon and other digital and bricks-and-mortar retailers. We’re no longer selling individual books and videos via shop.oreilly.com — but we are definitely continuing to publish books and videos on the topics you need to know. And of course, every O’Reilly book and video (including O’Reilly conference sessions) is available instantly on Safari.” The only mention of “DRM” in the FAQ is in regard to what happens to the digital content you have in your account at members.oreilly.com. According to O’Reilly, “Your DRM-free ebooks and videos are safe and sound, and you’ll continue to have free lifetime access to download them anytime, anywhere.”
