The thing is, on joyofclojure.com, it says:
"[...]The Joy of Clojure can now be pre-ordered, which gives you access to the entire book as a PDF now, plus other formats including the printed book once they're available."
Which is misleading because you only get the pdf if it get pre-ordered FROM MANNING.
And, yes, you are right that I give a part of their profit to amazon, but I still give them money.
Maybe you are right that it is just "not nice" and not rage-worthy. Still, I don't like the idea of a company being "not nice" to someone giving them money.
- gojomo 16y agoYes, that should be worded clearer. But, there's still a way for you to get the advance PDF and Manning to get what they expected in return: you can still cancel your Amazon order and order from Manning instead. Problem solved. If you don't want to do that, then you're over-reacting.
- dmoney 16y agoIt doesn't say anything about the PDF on the Amazon page, not that that's an excuse for Manning to be rude. Was it really an "FU" or just a polite "no"? It looks like the page has been amended to say "The Joy of Clojure can now be pre-ordered from Manning".
