Despite word "download" being mentioned. What safari really provide,
is an "online version" of the book, not "electronic version".
When I've bought paperback TDPL, I was kinda hoping to read "bonus
book" on my kindle dx, leaving paperback book on my office desk as
promo for my colleagues and guests. Well, too good to be truth.
FWIW, I would still like to have a kindle version. Pdf is fine too.
Has this changed? I bought TDPL in early July, registered at informit/Safari
Books
Online and could download a PDF version, which was even updated about two weeks
later. Those versions were labeled "Rough Cuts" but whatever..
So I got a nice searchable (and even updated) PDF version of the book that I can
use forever, even when the free 45day subscription expires (and I certainly
wouldn't pay for a Safari Online subscription just to use a digital version of a
book I already bought).
It has my name and E-Mail Address on every page, but this is okay, it's probably
meant to be some kind of copy protection.
Andrei: Please make this version available again for anyone who bought your
book,
because many people like having a searchable PDF in addition to the real
dead-tree
book. I think the way it was handled in early July (get a free 45day
subscription
and the possibility to download the book as PDF within that time) was really
fair
- although I certainly wouldn't mind getting updated versions of the book even
after that 45day period - and useful.
Cheers,

I also found the book on
http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0321635361 and it seems
to be the most viable ebook solution.
I would like to know where the name and email address watermarks are
printed. Do they distract the reading?
