Man, for a free book it is very hard to buy.
First of all, I had to sign up, ok no problems. No facebook or twitter conect. But no problem, only name and email.
But to buy I have to fill all my billing adress. Its a Free book!! I not have a flag in the website that says "If free book, proceed direct from checkout to book download". It's really pain to put all my billing adress even though I'll not pay for anything.
- cjtuckerman 15y agoPersonally, I think its brilliant. Even though it was a bit of a hassle, I still signed up and gave them my information because I was enticed by the promotion. Now they have my information and I am more likely to buy from OReilly because I already have an account setup with them.
- pdubs 15y agoEh, I felt that way too, but it's just how they fit it into the existing system, which with them being a publisher is likely some ancient behemoth. So hey, a no-cost, no-DRM, multi-format book!
- rgrieselhuber 15y agoIt's nice though too because now it's right there along with all of my other ebook purchases, so I can re-download it easily.
- mwexler 15y agoTo be fair, it's one click on Amazon, 2 on Bn.com, free on both sites. Chances are, you won't have to fill out anything if you've purchased from either before.
