Is the ebook version DRM-free from Manning? Their buy page isn't clear.

It's DRM-free, but visibly tagged with your name and email address on each page like other Manning ebooks.

Edit: This applies to the PDF version, the ePub and Mobi just put your name in the metadata, I believe.

As far as I understand the pre-release version is a regular PDF. I am unsure about the formats available when the book is complete, but I do not think that they were DRM'd in the first edition.

Does it look fine in a Kindle with E-ink?

I don't have JoC 2e yet, but I've read several other Manning books (including the first edition of JoC) on my e-ink Kindle and they looked good. You lose a little formatting and sometimes particularly wide tables or code samples get screwed up, but that's the nature of reflowed text and multiple target devices.

You'll get an .epub when the final book is out.
