Hey guys, Sorry about the shameless self-promotion, but I just thought I'd mention that my wife and I run a technical bookstore in Seattle and we're part of the computer security community (I started and run ToorCon/ToorCamp/etc) so our bookstore is obviously heavily based around supporting the local community and fostering tech innovation in the area.
I say this because we just started selling Google eBooks and so if you have a Google eBook compatible reader (which I believe is all of them except for the Kindle) and would like to keep the money in our community then please consider purchasing from us: http://www.adasbooks.com Or your local independent bookstore that supports reselling Google eBooks: http://www.indiecommerce.com/live-sites Thanks, -David On Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 8:04 AM, Dave Aitel <[email protected]> wrote: > So I personally wasn't a huge fan, but more than one person has > suggested Daemonby Leinad Zeraus.
