A *very* lame excuse! I guess you'll hear the same excuse from the operators of the big edonkey index servers yet it stays deeply illegal.

And BTW, doing something illegal here on the list can get you quickly unsubscribed from this list.

...

and like with all thing of this sort - "If you love it - BUY it"

Yet another of those lame excuses.

I personally welcome the opportunity to review the work myself rather than reading about it from somebody else. So often I find a third party review is totally opposite to what I think of a publication. That said, I do also accept that it is illegal to put up a copyrighted work like that. Sorry, I'm torn in two by this one. Perhaps it would be better to be legally able to put parts of the various chapters online so that we can judge for ourselves whether they are worthwhile buying. I know that some publishing houses already do this as do some private authors. At the end of the day I do prefer a solid hard caopy. This is turning into the debate about the officail SuSE manuals :-) I don't think many people are going to be wanting to trawl all through the pdf file and read the information off screen or, indeed, print out the whole of the book themselves. I think it is more likely to encourage people to go out and buy the book. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.

FYI to everyone:

http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0471754889.html is the home page for the book. You may notice the e-book download available at the same price as the paper book. You may notice sample chapters available for free.

So that link to the PDF _is_ an illegal distribution of a copyrighted work.

Excellent link, Stan. I wonder how they justify the same prices though? I'd have thought a downloadable version ought to be significantly less than the hard copy version. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.

Hi All; I bought the ebook from the below link. The site then had me downloada file 'ebx.etd' which appears to be an XML file. I have no idea what I should do to read the ebook based on this xml file. Anyone have any ideas? On Friday 24 February 2006 09:05, Kevanf1 wrote:

Please also note the price of this book in the UK. Remember what I said about the dollar price against the pounds sterling price. We do get ripped off all the time in the UK like this. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.

I went to adobe.com and found an Adobe Reader for Linux. The reader is installed however Wiley tells me that the e-book file is a special encrypted file and the Adobe reader must be "activated'. Checked with Adobe and found that they don't support activation of the Linux reader - only mac and M$. Anyone know of a way around this?

From the site:

System and Software Requirements

Wiley e-books are in a special format that must be viewed with a special file-reading program. The most current version of this program is Adobe Reader 6.0, which you can download for free at Adobe.com. You will need to install the Reader and activate it according to the instructions given in the application.

If you do not meet the system requirements (listed below) for Adobe Reader 6.0, you can use an older program called Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader 2.2. It is no longer offered by Adobe for new installations, but you can use it to read Wiley e-books if you already have it installed.
