The book is going to be available in all the usual places, including on iBooks and Kindle, as well as in paper form from B&N and Amazon, etc. Right now though the only immediate source is the publisher's site, as either Epub or PDF. Start here: http://www.packtpub.com/livecode-for-android-ios-m

You can use PayPal at the same site, avoiding WorldPay entirely without having to find somewhere else that has the book in stock. On Jul 26, 2012, at 11:03 PM, Colin Holgate wrote: > On Jul 26, 2012, at 10:24 PM, Mark Wieder wrote: > >> WorldPay sucks. Always has. >> >> I'll find someplace e

Stanza isn't that much fun to use. You can take the PDF version and use that in iBooks, or email the PDF to your Kindle email address, and then you can download it in the iPad Kindle app. Well, in theory you can, it keeps getting stuck at 97% for me. On Jul 26, 2012, at 3:31 PM, Pierre Sahores
