Free Classic Books by MIT Press on Archive.org
> Looks like Archive.org will be hosting it, but you'll have to go through a library to access it. It's an improvement, but not freeing the books entirely.
How is it prevented that I simply get a book, copy it and give it back?

The libraries use DRM enabled e-readers to lend content. Overdrive seems to be the most popular one for US libraries AFAICT.

Perhaps you can enlist the help of an Apprentice to repair the corruption in the file.

Did you know the most recent Amazon DRM hasn't been cracked yet?

Did they update all their kindles to support it? Or can you still get everything in the old DRM format?
