No, our contract with MIT Press forbids distribution of too easily copied electronic formats of the book.
This format is a sort of weak DRM. It's intended to discourage unauthorized copying/editing of the book. Unfortunately, the conversion from PDF to HTML is not perfect, and some things like subscript expressions do not render correctly. If you have a suggestion for a better way of making the book available to a wide audience while preventing unauthorized copies, please let us know.
Printing seems to work best printing directly from the browser, using Chrome.
It's difficult to predict. We're doing our best to finish it as soon as possible. We are currently making our own final proofreading pass through the book. There will be a further delay when the book goes into production (the publisher's additional proofreading, typesetting, etc). Please contact us if you are interested in using the textbook for course materials in the short term; we will put you in contact with MIT Press.
