Hi all, There have been recent questions from new users about good sources about the learning the Mac, and particularly the new Mac OS X Lion operating system. I've mentioned the Take Control Guide series: "Take Control of Using Lion" by Matt Neuberg. David Pogue's "Mac OS X Lion: The Missing Manual" published by O'Reilly Press has just been released, and is available for purchase at 50 per cent discount, or $13.99, today only from O'Reilly's web site. Here's the link to the O'Reilly deal of the day web page for Pogue's books: http://shop.oreilly.com/category/deals/pogue.do O'Reilly sells its book without DRM (digital rights management), so they can be viewed on any platform or reader. When you purchase ebooks directly from them, you create a user account, and get permanent access to all ebook versions of the book that are available, and these are automatically updated for any corrections or additions to the latest version. Current versions are ePub, PDF, and Mobi. They've also been releasing their popular books in DAISY format, though that's usually some weeks later. (The previous version of the Missing Manual for Snow Leopard is in DAISY format, for example.)
O'Reilly does make its books available through Bookshare, and includes their titles in the internationally available content. However, if you are not a member of Bookshare, or simply want early access and access to the range of multiple formats (so you can download the ePub version directly from the link in your login account through Safari to your iPhone or iPad and open and read it under iBooks, for example), this is a very good deal. Other popular David Pogue Missing Manual titles are also on half price sale today, but I'll point out that a new version of his Missing Manual for the iPhone, as well as to his guide to Switching to the Mac, are due to come out in about a month. HTH.
