Massimo, Personally, give it away free if they buy the printed book. Free means they have no skin in the game. The small sum you ask for the PDF is less than hour of the typical IT person's time. Fully recouped just spending 30min skimming through the examples.
I do have another observation however. I upgraded to 1.65.4 and after the longest time reread the README doc. Would you not save some time posting the changes there in reverse order? 1.65.4, 1.65.3, etc., rather than 1.21.1, 1.21.2, etc? Just an observation.
