I wasn't referring to releasing the book as an exclusive solution to the index problem, but rather for the community and SQLite in general. Fixing the index issue would just be a nice dividend. I am indebted to Apress for picking up the book and putting substantial resources into making it a good book (they truly made it a much better book than it ever would have been otherwise), and I would like to see them recoup their costs and benefit in any way they so desire. But I couldn't care less for any gain on my part. I wrote the book for SQLite. Don't get me wrong, I jumped at the chance to write a book when offered to me, but my main concern is that the book helps people and furthers the project. As long as I can avoid getting vilified on Amazon, I'm happy. Ultimately, I would love to see this book turn out like the "Dive Into Python" book, which is available online, or the Subversion/Samba/Asterisk books. I think it is in keeping with the open source philosophy. But the decision in this case is not mine alone to make. Regardless of their decision, I applaud Apress for their continued efforts in supporting books on open source software, and the people who reward their efforts by purchasing them. -- Mike On Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 8:45 AM, Martin Jenkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mike Owens wrote: > > I've been lobbying Apress to release the book in electronic form for > > free.
