why not make available on Amazon as kindle version? I always think twice before share my card info on random websites.


I'd usually agree with a comment like this but in this case, it has so many (useful) color diagrams that while it wouldn't be impossible to put on the Kindle, I don't think you'd get an amazing experience. Could be wrong though!


Since kindle fire, the books can be posted in colors :)


That's true, but I suspect the vast majority of Kindle users and buyers are stuck on 6" greyscale screens which aren't great for diagrams or code without a lot of care. "Source code looks horrible on the Kindle edition!" is one of the most common complaints I've seen on Kindle books so far, but it's definitely getting better.


FYI My download kit includes a mobi file, and it looks acceptable on the kindle. But yes, in black and white you'll lose a lot of the value of the diagrams I drew.


I would also like to see a version I can purchase through my Kindle as well.
