Hi I own the 350 and despite come hiccups such as not working perfectly on oreilly book tocs, I have very much liked the form factor and swiping. Well I also own an kindle and hence I now have my first dilemma (which shows my total lack of understanding on what drm is btw). I want to buy a book to read on the sony and I am not sure where I should be purchasing it. my choices are...
http://www.amazon.com/Python-Visual-...1506010&sr=1-2
http://ebookstore.sony.com/ebook/tob...00000000208835
http://www.peachpit.com/store/produc...sbn=032159097X
I would ideally like to read this on all 3 devices. my sony 350, my n900 smartphone (using fbreader) and my kindle.
well first off if I understand this, if I don't get the kindle version I will never be able to read this on my kindle as it is epub and (am I wrong here?) calibre will only convert from .mobi to epub and not the reverse.
but if I get the kindle version, will I be able to through magic of calibre, read this on both the 350 and n900 as well? and will things such as formatting and toc work as well?
finally If I do go for an epub version, not taking price difference into account between sony and peachpit, will there be any difference on how it reads on the sony and the n900? in fact WILL I in fact be able to read it on both the 350 and the n900, or will the sony version restrict me to just the 350?
I know I could spend much time reading about this, but I feel if I can work out this one issue here, I will be well on my way to understanding drm, as well as the implications of purchasing epubs from alternate sources and hopefully what my options are if I get it from amazon.
my head is spinning...how they heck am I going to learn python if I can't even figure out where I should buy the damn book...thanks much for listening, any guidance in my first epub purchase (that is not an oreilly book) would be so very much appreciated...
