SJG unDRMs RPG PDFs
(Alphabet soup, anyone? :)
Back during the WoYP blog's first go-round, I wrote a lengthy piece on the idea of role-playing game books on one's PDA. The observations I made then are still largely true today.
Nonetheless, one roleplaying game company has moved a little closer to the sort of openness with which Baen publishes their SF ebooks under Webscriptions: Steve Jackson Games is publishing a line of unDRM'd PDF RPG books, with a distinctly Baen-like philosophy.
PDFs aren't really suited for PDA use, but it's still nice to know we're getting closer.

Q. Are the files in e23 copy protected?They also keep your orders on file so that if you should lose your copy, you can download another one.
A. No. That would interfere with your use of them. We just have to hope that we can sell enough to honest people to make up for what gets stolen by the kiddies and cheapskates.
