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, - Daniel
