Just a heads up- I purchased the ebook sometime ago (v0.6.1 I think) and as new versions came out lulu.com declined to offer me the updated versions without making a new purchase.
Maybe the policy has changed- I don't know. Just thought I'd let others know, as I've been spoiled by O'Reilly

- golergka 11y ago> This book is and will always be free in PDF form > I purchased the ebook This confuses me.
- trentmb 11y agoLook at the website- all the content is there, just in multiple PDF files. In the spirit of supporting an open textbook effort, I ponied up $10 for the 'combined' PDF that has some other little niceties.
- golergka 11y agoWell, this book certainly looks like it deserves a donation — I just don't like when people use the term "buy" when they offer the same item for free.
- kenbellows 11y agobut... they did buy it... he got something not being offered for free: the combined ebook, which is in a different file format and contains extra material
- wging 11y agoDo you know how Andrea and Remzi feel about that? They've generously made the book free overall, so I'd guess (without real evidence) that they'd prefer for people to get version updates if they do choose to purchase this format.
- stkent 11y agoThanks for the tip; like you, I have come to expect automatic eBook updates now!
