Many publishers want to disincentivize ebook sales while 
artificially pushing up print sales, that's probably why.  Part 
of it is that they already have money invested in printing 
presses and the like, so they don't want that investment 
demolished by everyone buying ebooks.  Another piece is that they 
may feel, rightly or wrongly, that they don't have much to 
contribute to ebook sales, so they use such weird pricing to try 
and suppress pure ebook sales alone, because someday they will go 
out of business if they just sell ebooks.


Strictly speaking, it is irrational, or at the very least too 
skewed towards dying technology and business models.  But then 
people do dumb things all the time, especially those whose 
business is heading for obsolescence. :)

use D for web applications.

For me writing a book is an incredible experience. It's 
challenging because I am not a native English speaker. But I 
am having lot of fun in exploring all the details, creating 
examples and writing about it. I learned a lot in this 
process, including some more D programming. :-)

Having finished about 60% of the chapters, the other 40% and

Congrats! This exactly the sort of book I think D could really use right

isn't enough written about it.

Hi Kai.

As I have all the books/hardcopies from 
http://wiki.dlang.org/Books, I had to  pre-order your coming book 
as well... and did so just now.


It's not like I'm a Dlang programmer and I guess I'll never do 
real world D [Web] Development, but buying the D books is my 
way of supporting Dlang and especially those of this great 
community who spend their valuable time for the hardest part of 
programming/development... which is writing usable documentation 
and/or books!


From now on, I'm waiting for my Christmas 2015 gift ;) Thanks for 
doing this!



Btw., @Ali: I'm would still love to buy the best ever Dlang 
book/documentation/reference, which for me is your (and/or the 
Turkish Dlang communities) Programming in D bible! Well, if you

Packt seem to have caught some sort of wave at the moment with D related
books.

Though from my experience of correspondence with then they seem to work a
bit backwards.
