Jim, I just saw your post over on the Amazon.com Kindle Forum. Good news about possible Kindle support. I would be one of your biggest customers! The book I am the most concerned with to get now would be the Professional C# 2008 that book is awesome! I already have your Beginning XML, Beginning Regular Expresions on hard copy. With the Kindle DX coming out I hope to get my entire C#/programming library from all publishers onto the Kindle, as im tired of lugging these big books too and from the office when I work from home lol
Thanks for the feedback. We should have the first small batch of new Wrox books on Kindle this month. The first few are already actually converted, I just don't know the timeline for how long it takes Amazon to sell them once we provide the files. Soon I hope.
The BIG C# book you're looking for isn't one of them though, sorry. I did stick with smaller books (400-800 pages - small is relative) for this test as conversion isn't free and I want to see what demand is like before we commit to the conversion cost on 1600+ page books.
Well I hope the demand is high. I do see a lot of people in the Kindle forums asking "are there any textbooks available on the Kindle?" When I first joined the forum, prior to even owning the Kindle, I asked the same thing but was a bit more specific and referenced C# books and a lot of people repsonded saying they already had downloaded a bunch so I bought the Kindle solely for that reason. Also, my nepehew is a teacher and he told me Northern Arizona University is conscidering getting many of their textbooks converted and maybe offering Kindle versions for the curriculum. I dont know how many of them are WROX books but that was good news. All I can say is I will be a good customer! :)
Thank You Jim!
on their post!
