The digital editions definitely have their advantages: continually updated, more content for the dollar/euro/yuan/zloty, and a few goodies only available to subscribers. But, you're right -- there are people who prefer paper. If I hadn't sold print rights to Apress, the book under my title would still be in print. Also, the Apress edition should be available through Safari, for those who sprung for that service. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
