Hi,
I just want to share some information I got from oreilly. I checked the page and wanted to buy the ebooks of the 70-511 and 70-515 books but I was unable to find them. So I wrote them an email and got a quick answer:
"We have temporarily stopped selling the ebooks of the training kits, because we couldn't put the practice test software online for download and we don't have an alternative delivery mechanism in place for them. It's really not worth it to sell the ebooks
without the additional content that they depend on. We should have a solution in place soon, so when that happens, we'll resume selling the ebook versions of the training kits."
So at the moment there is no ebook available in the store there. This is not that nice in my eyes but I can understand it. The practice test questions and the ebook itself which is on the CD cannot be made available to all people. So the normal support download
of CD content cannot be used.
Ok, what a shame. So I am thinking of just getting the books - that way I get the ebook in PDF form, too.
And 2 things I saw:
a) Oreilly has a nice offer: buy 2 books and get a 3rd for free. That is quite nice.
b) I was surprised: Oreilly offers a quite nice online access to all the books for a not s high monthly fee. So far I only knew books24x7 (Through my company and also through the Microsoft eReference Library) and it is quite good (And I liked the possibility
to download complete chapters!)
I am also not connected with Oreilly but I was really surprised when I checked their offers so I just wanted to share it ...
With kind regards,
Konrad
