Yeah I hear you, I moved to Argentina from the US this year and my ipad + kindle app has been great. I can buy lots of books which I can't get down here and get access to them immediately, and I can carry a whole library in my backpack. So +1 if you are thinking about it. I like physical books as well but the portability factor is awesome. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm looking for a python introductory book, kind of like Learning Python only smaller (?!) The thing is, I travel to and from work each day for about 1,5h in each direction, and do most of my reading on the train :\ (seriously) And I can't find one (just one) python book shorter than 500 pages that is worth its weight in salt. Anyone know of any, any at all? All suggestions welcomed! -- Sebastian -- kindle? ipad? tablet? also there is python programming for the absolute beginner, which is agreat book but it's pretty beginner. But well written.
