surprisingly enough, I actually saw this book on shelf in person at Barnes and Nobles, just an hour after I saw this post. (the union square location in NYC has it)

Re: Smashing Node.JS book is out.
#22I'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?
And I've been wary about publishing them :)
Shameless plug: I put out jsmag in PDF, and regularly get people asking for Kindle version, but have not yet been able to make something look decent. Revisiting this again next month. Suggestions/guidance on this topic welcome.

#23I would buy this if there were a PDF version available. Am I able to purchase the Kindle copy and download some kind of Kindle app to read it? I really want this book.

Sure, you have other options to read Kindle books without a Kindle device:
* On the web or on your iPhone/iPad https://read.amazon.com/
* On Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kin...

Also on Mac and Windows desktops. The great thing about Kindle is that it's almost as ubiquitous as PDF. Almost.

I read almost all of my technical books (I've stopped buying technical paperbacks a couple of years ago) on iPad. For whatever reason (natural born cyborg?) my eyes appreciate glowing screen. If only I can make iPad lighter...

I would also buy if there were a PDF version. Since my entire library is pdf, I won't install a software and register an account just to read this book.

#28Is this in any way affiliated with Smashing Magazine ( http://www.smashingmagazine.com/ )? The name and color scheme would lead one to believe so…
It appears so. At this link which someone posted below: http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-111996259... There's the Smashing Magazine logo on the upper left hand side of the book.
Hm, but it doesn't appear in Smashing's ebook store: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/ebooks/

Minus the fact that there are some DRM in the Kindle books which is rather anoying.
PDF is an open standard, the Kindle format is not.

Wow, thanks. I did not actually know that Kindle books could be read without actually owning a Kindle capable device. I'm buying this right now.
