Is the Google Play version also in three formats and without DRM?

It's in epub and pdf. What is the third format you were looking for? I assume it's not .mobi, since from your other posts in this thread you consider it an inferior format.

Do you know for sure that this is the reason they closed the store? I suspect the reason is to push people to the subscription model. There is more profit in it. I have seen it before (e.g. Adobe Photoshop Cloud) but you are right we have not enough information to know the truth.
I have primarily bought e-books especially at oreilly.com because they had the DRM free multi format.
If you just want paperback books and/or DRM-invested e-books other stores will be fine for you.

I don't read paperback anymore, so I can't speak to the availability of those. As has been said multiple times, the O'Reilly books are DRM free at Amazon. They are also, as far as I can tell, DRM free at Google.
