When I go to the eyeonwindows site they're selling it. I wasn't sure if you meant people should look at the Amazon edition, but it's not available in Aus.
I don't feel comfortable just downloading a zip file without knowing it's source - what is the source of it?

I got it from a spammer and computer hacker in Russia. He said that I could trust him. hahahah
Actually, I got the information from a post by an individual on another forum. I learned that the websites sponsoring the free ebook are one or both of these:
windows9update.com and
eyeonwindows.com. If you go to both sites you'll notice that the design, etc. of the websites is (nearly?) identical; they're related somehow, but how I don't know. Maybe I need to be more like you and be cautious and wary, or even suspicious, but the websites seem okay.
I checked a very reliable website safety rating service called Web of Trust (WOT). Interestingly, they say that windows9update.com is "unsatisfactory," but say that eyeonwindows.com is "good!" But, the ratings come from users, some of which can have vendettas for one reason or another and, too, I think that WOT will give a rating based upon just one person's response.
Anyway, I have the pdf file of the book on my hard drive. I scanned it with my antivirus program, which is up-to-date on the virus signatures. It tells me that there is "no threat," i.e., the file is clean. I know that there is a way to post attachments, but I've never done it. If someone would be kind enough to tell me how to do it, I would be happy to do that. There may be other Mobilereaders who would want to download it, too.
But now the question is: do you trust
me? hahahah
