Doubt it. We talked to MIT Press about publishing our book and they were extremely hostile to having any way for our readers to produce an un-DRM'd PDF, which is how our book is currently distributed.

Actually, they were mostly just very hostile and unpleasant. This is among the many reasons why we're probably staying independent and printing the book ourselves - so that the digital version stays unencumbered among other things.

Ugh, MIT Press, the same organization that won't allow easy distribution of things like the Wizard Book.
