Re: Smashing Node.JS book is out.
#12Just got back into node.js this past week and I think its a great change up from RoR(day job). I'm using the socket.io module and seeing as this guy's responsible for that... I figured I'd support him and order a copy, plus I like reading other perspectives on programming topics. Thanks!
Re: Smashing Node.JS book is out.
#13I guess I'll be that guy: is there a downloadable sample available somewhere?
The Wiley page has some:

And if you want to get it via Amazon for your Kindle, Amazon offers a sample of every book.

#15I've always been a bit weary of purchasing technical books for the Kindle: the few I've done that way are largely unreadable. What's the case here? As for the content itself, I'm pretty good with JavaScript, both for the web and for node. Does this add anything new?
I think Kindle DX users will benefit from the kindle edition. Technical books is a pleasure to read on a Kindle DX.
Yeah, I couldn't afford a DX. I end up reading the "content" on my Kindle and when there are long code snippets, I read it on my Mac.

#17Any DRM free epub versions available for purchase?
Just buy a copy from Amazon and then strip the DRM in http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/01/how-to-strip-drm-from...

#18Is this in any way affiliated with Smashing Magazine (http://www.smashingmagazine.com/)? The name and color scheme would lead one to believe so…

It doesn't seem so. Otherwise you'd have to imagine they'd be more transparent about it.
