The eBook version is $30. I bought that one yesterday and then learned that they deliver it in some locked, proprietary format that you can only read using their special reader program or application. I was expecting something I could read in my Kindle app or similar. A proprietary reader means maybe I can still read my book in 5 years, on whatever platform is current at that time, or maybe I can't. I don't like that. I emailed them and requested a refund. They took care of it promptly and now I'm ordering the physical book instead.
I am happy to have started it. Can't wait to get the hard copy. Perhaps Jeff himself (or his close buddies) can chime in on whether a 3rd Edition is in the works.What and interesting thread !
So is it pdf format in AdobeI just got it - easy, free setup for both the OS X and iOS versions. I also hate proprietary software for anything that has a really long potential useful life (like metadata on genealogy photos). But I figure that by the time that Adobe is out of business and there are no more legacy readers available, I'll probably want a newer rebreather book...
It is a certified and encrypted .pdf that needs a certified reader enabled with your adobe account. These are commonly called Adobe ebooks. You can read the book on how many device you wish. I have it on my iPad and on my laptop then I also loaded it in my mini iPad. The app for ipad is called bluefire reader, the one for win and mac is Adobe Digital Editions.So is it pdf format in Adobe
