for a split second there I read this as Papa Bear O'Reilly donating the book. During that split second my brain was almost fried trying to make sense of how he could have written a book titled "Open Government"



There are two O'Reillys, one good, another one evil.

Papabear O'Reilly does not give out free ebooks.

Tim O'Reilly gives out free ebooks and even gives out free ebooks if you own the old paper book and enter the ISBN number on his site. Also OReilly ebooks are DRM free as well.


I'm not seeing where to enter the ISBN. Could you point me in the right direction please?

EDIT: I've found where you register print books, but it claims you have to pay $5 to "upgrade" to the ebook version.


It used to be free. I guess they added the $5 fee?


I don't think donating Killing Kennedy or Killing Lincoln to "honor" Aaron Swartz would be very appropriate...
