Disappointed it's explicitly not for download, but it's still excellent to be able to have access to all of these.

If you're reading it "on line" you've already downloaded it.

  Yeah, but you can't put it easily on your tablet and read it offline while sitting in the park ;-) Still liking it a lot.

    That's what I was wondering about. You'd be saving the lectures, not downloading them, if you did that. The license needs some clarity.

      "Saving" vs. "Downloading" is not a duality we should entertain either. If it is downloaded, it is likely saved to a permanent storage, and maaaybe some process will eventually delete it. In any case this should not be the territory for law.

        Why don't they want it anyway?

Hopefully some talented soul will write a script to convert these HTML files into mobie, epub and PDF.

  pdf. Not sure how kosher the copyright is All 3 volumes: http://selfdefinition.org/science/25-greatest-science-books-of-all-time/20.%20Feynman%20et%20al.%20-%20The%20Feynman%20Lectures%20on%20Physics%20Volumes%201%20-%203%20(1963).pdf http://selfdefinition.org/science/25-greatest-science-books-...

    That's a terrible quality pdf. For $14.99 you can purchase the enhanced version here: http://www.basicfeynman.com/enhanced.html http://www.basicfeynman.com/enhanced.html It was very cool of the publishers to allow this, and they deserve our support. Otherwise, if you must download the basic version, go to the piratebay and search for "Feynman Lectures on Physics (epub,mobi,html) - FIXED"

      Please note that this is only a small subset of his lectures. They are the "Six Easy Pieces". SIX EASY PIECES, taken from these famous Lectures on Physics, includes the most approachable material from the series

      The pdf is a fairly accurate copy of the print books which I own but which are heavy things to lug about.

  Lets hope that talented soul doesn't end up like Aaron Swartz.

  https://github.com/fmap/flp.mobi https://github.com/fmap/flp.mobi This repository previously included a toolchain to build a collection of eBooks, in ePub and MOBI formats, from Caltech's online edition of the Feynman Lectures. Those scripts have since been removed, in response to the suggestion that their continued availability might lead to a permanent discontinuation of HTML access.
