About e-book formats

I've received a lot of questions about the e-book formats and online versions for SharePoint 2010 Web Parts in Action. And the news is good. The book will be available in most e-book formats.

First of all; everyone that got the book through the MEAP program should have received the book in PDF format, with full coloring! And if you buy the printed book through the Manning web site you'll also get the PDF version. There's also a PDF only version for a few dollars less. But admit it - it looks nicer in your bookshelf with the original printed copy (send me a photo of your bookshelf with the book, that would make me glad!).

Over the next few weeks all purchasers of the e-book or printed book (through the Manning web site) will be e-mailed with a link to download the book in epub and mobi formats, for free. These are optimized versions for e-readers (Kindle, Sony e-Reader etc). Perfect to have while commuting, travelling or beeing on vacation. This also means that you could buy the book through the Amazon Kindle store.

Within two weeks the book will also be available through Safari Books Online. This allows for Safari Books Online subscribers to enjoy the book in its full fidelity as well.

And it doesn't end with that! For all you iPad fans - the book will also be sold through the iBookstore in about three weeks.

Isn't all this great - you can read the book whenever and wherever you want as many times as you like! You can run but you can't hide...
