It’s kind of a tradition around here that my readers convert my ebooks to their favorite formats and send them to me here, and it’s one that I love! If you’ve converted these files to another format, send them to me and I’ll host them, but before you do, make sure you read the following:
- Only one conversion per format, first come, first serve. That means that if someone’s already converted the file to a Femellhebber 3000 document, that’s the one you’re going to find here. I just don’t know enough about esoteric readers to adjudicate disputes about what the ideal format is for your favorite device.
- Make sure include a link to the reader as well. When you send me an ebook file, make sure that you include a link to the website for the reader technology as well so that I can include it below.
- No cover art. The text of this book is freely copyable, the cover, not so much. The rights to it are controlled by my publisher, so don’t include it with your file.
- No DRM. The Creative Commons license prohibits sharing the file with “DRM” (sometimes called “copy-protection”) on it, and that’s fine by me. Don’t send me the book with DRM on it. If you’re converting to a format that has a DRM option, make sure it’s switched off.

Cory:
As we discussed at the 10-year anniversary web conference at Rose-Hulman, I think leading with an electronic copy to promote sales of the paper copies is a great thing.
I look forward to reading this one — first in electronic form.

I own all Cory’s books, including “content,” this is the first one I’ve downloaded as an eBook. I work in advertising as an online Creative Director. I thought this collection was invaluable, so I attached it to an email and sent it to 5 other VP’s at my company. The way I see it, we’re in a good position to be influencers in the ways of copyright law – after all, we create loads of commercial content specifically for online use and sharing. I’m pretty sure this book will inspire some excellent thought and conversation, and I bet at least 1 of my peers buys a Cory Doctorow book next time he’s at Borders. Thanks man, keep it up!
thank you very much for always sharing and for sharing so freely. There are many of us in South Africa who thoroughly enjoy every word of your books. You and your story telling are greatly appreciated.
May you be blessed for your open mind and kindness
wow, I downloaded this book for free, but it was so good, I went out a bought Little brother and a couple others. Who would have thought that giving away a free book would make you money?
