Packt Removes Password Protection from its eBooks

Monday, March 2, 2009 | News | Content Management

In December, we decided to enable the copy and paste feature on our eBooks. Following this announcement, we received a number of suggestions from customers who would like to see the password protection removed from our eBooks as well. With the increasing popularity of reading eBooks on portable devices, the password protection was proving to be an obstacle that prevented users from doing so.

Therefore, we have taken this feedback on board and decided to remove all password protection from our eBooks with immediate effect. If you own a Packt eBook, you can download it again from your account at www.PacktPub.com; this new copy will have no password protection. We would like to thank all customers who took the time to provide us with this feedback and we hope you are pleased with this outcome.

To celebrate this announcement, Packt has made Cameron Cooper’s Building Websites with Plone eBook available as a free download.

Read on for full details.

To download your free eBook, visit the book’s page at www.PacktPub.com/plone/book and click on the ‘Download eBook’ button. You will need to create or login to your account, where the Building Websites with Plone eBook will be available to download in the ‘Free eBook’ section. This eBook is available to anyone with a PacktPub.com account, so you’re welcome to pass on the news.

If the Plone or VirtualDub eBooks aren’t to your liking, then you might want to try another one of our eBooks. For the duration of March, we are offering a 30% discount off all eBooks or if you purchase two at the same time, you’ll get 40% off both. Just visit www.PacktPub.com for more details.
