Welcome to Jim Baen's UNIVERSE, a magazine of science fiction, fantasy, and fact.

No DRM!

Jim Baen’s Universe is completely free of Digital Rights Management.

That's right.

• No copy protection
• No passwords
• No encryption

just pure raw unadulterated SF.

How can we do that?

To start, we don't assume our readers are thieves.

As a matter of fact, we've been doing it with books for quite a while. For more on why we do it, check out some articles  from our Editor, Eric Flint.

As is standard policy for any electronic publication by Baen Books, all text is available in unencrypted formats like HTML, RTF and PDF (Adobe Reader) as well as popular proprietary formats. In fact, we'll provide you -- free of charge -- with whatever downloads you need to read the text in your preferred format.
