Copyright, as far as I know. There already was a programming language
with that name (at least, it says so in my favorite Java Ebook).

I guess it would not go in my collection of ebook. Thanks though.

Of legally available ones, surely Bruce Eckel's books belong near the
top, even though the material they present is now quite dated:

Well I personally did not like Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java
much(found it quite soporific), could not read it much. It's quite
bloated up, I find "The Java programming Language" concise and to the
point. Of course TIJ is available legally.

A better question would have been "What's your favorite Java book?",
since e-books are either illegal or worthless (with the exception of
Eckel's book, IMHO; obviously YMV).
(Actually, the freely available Sun reference material is extensive
and useful.)

Did I mention "The Java programming language"? More over I was talking
about books (not just ebooks). I have a copy(or access to) of TIJ, JPL,
Headfirst Java, Headfirst Servlets and JSP, Headfirst EJB, Headfirst
Design pattern, Inside the JVM, How tomcat works, Complete reference to
name a few.(BTW I am not talking about ebooks).

Or, one could go directly to the author's web site and get the up-to-date
fourth edition of the book (or at least the first seven chapters
thereof):

Guess how many Java books I have (E or otherwise): Zero.
Yep. Zero. Who needs 'em? The website java.sun.com has nearly everything
you'll ever need, aside from third-party libraries and their docs and
some random stuff. Google and Wikipedia have the rest.
Save your money.

I think that you would find value in either or both of the JLS or the JVM
spec -- both of which e-books are freely downloadable from Sun's website
somewhere.

Of course. No body spoke of these bibles before.

Oh, come on, *Sun's own downloadable documentation* doesn't count.
Doorstops with a big JAVA in a saturated primary color sitting on
bookstore shelves, and "ebooks" that cost twice as much and are full of
evil DRM, on the other hand ...
Mind you, we ARE entering a new era, in which the Almighty Thud* has
taken on a whole new meaning -- it's the sound you hear three hours
after clicking "Download SDK API documentation" links for large Java
class libraries, esp. the core JDK ones themselves.
(It's also thesound you hear a little later, seeing the Disk Full error with the
progress bar at 90%, when you bang your head repeatedly against the case
containing the 250GB Maxtor drive you just clogged with it all.)
