I also like to highlight important bits in book therefore I'm a big fan in buying books.<br /><br /><br />Also I believe that if the author (in this case Reto) decides that his content should be published within book form this should be respected.<br /><br />As Reto pointed out therefore are lots of free online resources for learning Android.<br /><br />@Reto ILars Vogelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780848976283335301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735231.post-28945132506298619292011-05-23T19:27:54.366+01:002011-05-23T19:27:54.366+01:00I bought the book but really would liketo have it ...I bought the book but really would liketo have it in electronic form.

A donation doesn't justify your piracy just makes you feel a little less guilty about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735231.post-69271724300596624932011-05-23T16:30:41.792+01:002011-05-23T16:30:41.792+01:00I'm definitely with you in all points you brou...I'm definitely with you in all points you brought forward but I think you left one serious out. Pricing of eBooks! For example if I follow the links from your site the eBook is actually more expensive than the printed one. I believe that many people feel that it should not be the case. By buying eBooks you should be able to save cost of printing, materials and shipping. I believe that piracy could be greatly reduced by making eBook pricing reflect that!<br /><br />Anyways, your book is excellent. Do you have any plans updating it to Android 3.0+?Juhani Lehtimakihttp://www.androiduipatterns.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735231.post-80062043794376708832011-05-23T16:22:36.143+01:002011-05-23T16:22:36.143+01:00Just buy the book people reading this....superb bo...Just buy the book people reading this....superb book!Lesmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042413856883636177noreply@blogger.com
