BUT, to respond to your issue...
I have not purchased a technical book in the last 5 years. Why would I when its going to stale by the time I read it? It takes months to write, edit, print and distribute a book. BUT, I can go online and find what I need from an expert and the answer is based on TODAYs technology, not last years. So I guess that I don't mind that technical books suck on the kindle.  |
I'd love to be able to use my Kindle for storing technical books. I have technical books for Javascript, SQL, ASP, XSLT, etc. where I often need to look up some syntax or a code snippet and the search function of the Kindle would be great. Usually I use the internet for this function but it also returns old information, irrelavent information, too detailed information, not detailed enough information, etc. Sometimes a book is a better provider of information than a Google search.
