Expert Cube Development book finally on Kindle!

How about a discount for those of us that already own the hard copy? ;)

Cool - Just off to buy my Kindle Copy. Have used the hard copy a lot!

Do the screenshots and stuff work well on the kindle? I know its great for text but when you have shaded diagrams and screenshots of dialogs they've often looked a bit hard to read on a kindle. Its the only thing putting me off getting one.

I cart my PDF library around with me on a USB stick instead, though there are some you can't get PDF's of and that's why there's always a stack of books on my desk :-)

My paper copy of Expert Cube Dev is looking a bit well thumbed these days.

I had just mentioned Expert Cube Development in a blog post and was looking for a reference URL and came across the news that NOW the book is on Kindle.  Alas, too late for me. I've been lugging the printed version back and forth to work to read on the train.

I have to say, it's a great book. I've picked up a lot from it.  

Guys,

about a year ago, the publisher added the ePub version of the book in addition to the already existing PDF version, see here:

http://www.packtpub.com/expert-cube-development-with-microsoft-sql-server-2008-analysis-services/book

If you, like me, bought both versions of that book on that site (print + eBook), you're entitled to the ePub version and can download it for free, then convert it to the mobi format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Kindle#Epub_support), transfer that file via the USB cable and use it on your Kindle.

I've been reading it on my 6" Kindle ever since I've bought it (the Kindle, not the book) and it looks just fine.

OK, so you bought your book on Amazon or another bookshop? Not a problem at all. Even now it's cheaper to buy the eBook version on publisher's site than the Kindle version on Amazon. Of course, it's not a one click action like buying Kindle books on Amazon, but if you're reading this blog, it shouldn't be a problem :-). Not to mention that you get both the PDF and ePub versions, so you can really read it anywhere on anything, anytime.

It's great that the book is finally available in Kindle format too, for those who prefer simplicity, but I thought I let you know these things. The choice is yours, of course.

Good luck with additional sales Marco, it's a great book!
