Or you can save money
and get it really easy and conveniently. Sometimes. Don't count the enTourage bookstore out in your ebook bargain hunt. For example, I wanted to brush up on my Java (been over a decade) so I searched Inkmesh for best price on
Sams' Teach Yourself Java in 24 Hours. Cheapest was Amazon.com, no surprise, but wrong format. On a whim I checked the bookstore here. Surprise! PDF cheaper than Amazon's Kindle version. By around two bucks!
There was another I put on my wishlist that was
only available in ebook form from enTourage's store. Nobody else had it. I see the publisher, Wrox, now has it but its discounted price is two dollars higher. (
Professional Android 2 Application Development , new version published a few months ago. Everyone else but Wrox still carry the older ebook version from a year ago.)
Needless to say I now always check here as well as elsewhere for my books.
