I got some good replies and forwarded them to Packt. They confirmed that they will be contacting you (if they did not do already) with further details. I also suggested to Packt to get someone from either CubieTech or Allwinner to review the book. Obviously, such a thing would be mutually beneficial in terms of marketing. So, if you are from CubieTech or Allwinner, do contact me in private. Simos -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
