D&d books pdf free download

No, the 5e books are not officially available in electronic form, besides the free Basic rules and the partial rules placed in the SRD. If they ever do appear for sale, it'll likely be on the DMs Guild Web store.

The one option available to you is to scan the books into electronic form yourself, or have it done for you. While I am not a lawyer, here is the relevant information for you to make your own determination.

Though in the US it's not yet settled case law as to whether this is absolutely legal or not, there is a lot of reason to believe it is. Earlier court rulings on music and DVRs are only partially relevant; there is very recent legal precedent, however, specific to creating electronic versions of books. The Author's Guild generally calls any transformation of a published work into electronic form copyright infringement and would say you can't do this. However as recently as June of 2014, they suffered severe setbacks in Authors Guild v. Google and Authors Guild v. Hathitrust which significantly solidified the legal definition of fair use for published works. There is even a popular US service that has been in business since 2011 called 1dollarscan.com which will take in books from you and scan them (destroying the physical copy and providing you electronic copies in various formats) for your personal use. It has weathered all its legal challenges so far. (This is actually a popular practice imported from Japan where it's called "jisui," and it had back and forth legal challenges there too, ending with the scanning shops being declared illegal in Sept. 2013.) Until this exact use case comes before a court it is not possible to say it is "absolutely" legal, and it's going to vary by locality, but I think it's quite reasonable to conclude this falls under fair use as currently interpreted by the courts.
