I'm fine with that.
I'm not. Lots of companies use C#, Visual Studio, or just Windows in general, and the best books for those topics usually come from MS Press. It would have been nice to get the C# 2010 book through this deal.
Is this the one you wanted? You can get this for $6 and use some advice from upthread to convert it to ePub.

You can get $5 O'Reilly EPUBs from the App Store everyday. Extracting an epub from an iPhone app is easy. First you unzip the .ipa file. Then you cd to Payload/*/book. Finally, you zip up the files to an .epub file: zip -X ~/book.epub mimetype && zip -r9DX ~/book.epub META-INF OEBPS. mimetype must be first in the archive for validity, which you can test with EpubCheck.
Oh well, it only set me back 5 bucks.

Same here, when I go to the "emedia" page, it sits there loading for a good 3 minutes, then says I don't have anything to download.
Appears to be a common trend, same situation here for iPhone 3D I just got and was excited to 'download immediately' but I get 'no data' or no books to download.

I have a Kindle DX. Love it for reading research PDFs from start to finish. I had also figured it would be fantastic to shrink the shelf space for tech books, and always have those books at hand. Big downside that doesn't hit you till you try to use it for this purpose: the e-ink can't page flip fast enough to be useful. Readers on the iPad (iBooks, even Kindle app) don't have this issue.
I'm not sure I follow. But what I have learned from reading HN is that I am probably the only person in the world that reads each page of a book in order. I start with the first page. When I'm done reading that page, I read the second page. Induct on n.
I usually trip up on the "induct on n" part. Fortunately, I start enough books that I still finish a few each year.
Seems like this is a popular promotion, based on their website performance. I wonder if it will make anyone reconsider the recent controversy over Amazon's pricing for Kindle editions. Seems like lots of people are willing to buy e-books for $9.99.

This might be my favorite comment of yours. I usually trip up on the "induct on n" part. Fortunately, I start enough books that I still finish a few each year.
