Earlier quoted context omitted.

Im glad its an eBook, not a book. Since I work in tech, I am excited that its a eBook that I can search through easily rather than having to spend tons of time bookmarking and flipping through pages hoping to find what is relevant when I need it. Paper books have some novelty value but I much prefer the utility of full text search when its time to get something done.

Really? I like ebooks for novel style format, but for technical books - where I don't necessarily them read in a linear manner - I find them way worse to browse.

TBH the index feels well-curated. It’s not one of those cases when you have hundreds of pages just tied together in a pdf.

Really, you are getting something of great value for free in return for your e-mail, and feel obligated to try and contort and "screw" them? This is the exact sort of mentality that frustrates me as an entrepreneur. If you don't like the terms, then simply hit back. You're not entitled to anything. end of rant

Well the value of personal contact data can everyone decide on their own, but personally I would not rate that as free.

If you think your contact data (personal email and phone number) has no value, please share them here. You will probably get great value from it!

Yet another JavaScript heavy and so flakey form to implement a basic task. So tried to provide details but it did not work. So I am grateful for the link.

Forcing you to give consent to receive a newsletter in order to download the ebook is not the way to go

Do you expect them to get nothing in return?

That's the traditional definition of "free" (as in beer).

At some point entrepreneurs need to run into the fact their business model wont work.

Any effort to control the distribution of digital media on the internet is doomed to fail. It is not our job to prop up failed business models.

or should we just give you money because we feel sorry for you not realizing this ?
