The offer TOC in 3 flavors -- ePub, Mobi, and PDF. You can download any or all of the formats once you complete the order.
DRM is not used in any of the formats. I have read a bit of the book so far and it is quite good. Well worth the effort. |

I was a mite disappointed that they force you to register with them before getting the book... I almost blew it off, twice. Now I'm another cipher on one more list. Joy.

File no longer available!
I get a 404: "We're sorry, the URL, http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596802110.EBOOK is either incorrect or no longer available. Please use our search or the navigation above to find what you're looking for. " anyone has the link (to a copy)? Edit:Sorry was a little impatient!It took 5 minutes to be ready for download(for those with as little patience as me) Last edited by ProDigit; 02-14-2009 at 12:37 AM. |

If you're bothered by free registration, you can always have a look at BugMeNot :
http://www.bugmenot.com/view/oreilly.com This is not about backdoors to paying sites, this is about accounts for sites requiring free registration. I just tried it, and I'm waiting to download the book right now, with the same delay as ProDigit. |

I'm wondering,
Oreilly says buy 2 get the 3th free. What would happen if we order 2 of these books,would we get a third for free? If so, ordering 200 of these books could give us 100 free ebooks! |

Usually, in these situations, you get the cheapest one free ...
