Just for comparison purposes, those same bundles in PHYSICAL dead
tree books would each be $5 to $8 dollars more if purchased from
www.bookpool.com.
Looks like most of these bundles would qualify for free shipping
from book pool at the Media rate which is slow, 10 days.
So a little cheaper, delivery a lot faster,
....BUT...
Only an electronic copy, no print copy.
(which may not matter to some)
Hmm.. just found out that their ebook format is a password
protected PDF file. I hate browsing PDF's on my Linux boxen
because I have yet to find a PDF viewer that isn't slower than
molasses on my systems. (literally, 3 - 10 seconds to open a new
page)
No reflection on Ted's good work in passing the info to the list.
My preferences are strictly mine and may or may not be shared by
others. I just wish they would find better formats for e-books.
(hmm - wonder if it can be used in a Kindle.. ? )
