You should put some kind of key in every downloadable pdf and have a database of those keys and related users, so you’d know which user made his/her copy available on torrent.

One thing though; this page manages to crash IE6 every time I try to load it - Firefox seems to be okay though.

I like to read them in the car or on the train, so a book version helps. Even when I'm consulting them at my PC, I prefer using the book to a PDF. Sorry trees.

I'm sure the PDF versions will be there any minute now. Shame. A Google search shows that many of the Sitepoint books have been available on bit-torrent sites for awhile.

CHM-format is my preferred choice for offline ebooks. I hope that SitePoint would consider them.
