Will this title be available as an eBook? If so, any idea of when?

Hi,

Thanks for showing an interest in the book, and apologies there isn't an ebook yet. I've spoken to Wrox and there definitely will be an ebook at some point.

I'll let you know as soon as concrete details are available.

Good news. The ebook is now available on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Patterns-Princ...=9781118714690

It will shortly be available direct from Wrox too.

Hi,

I also owned the printed book and read it cover to cover and found it very useful.

So, I am also interested on buying eBook version as companion for quick look ups, etc. But Amazon only offers the Kindle version. Unfortunately, due to corporate (work place) restrictions, I am able to install the Kindle App on my machine (and access Kindle store).

Is there a PDF version available?

Regards,
Midas

This ebooks and all of our recent Wrox ebooks (last ~5 years?) are supposed to be available on Wrox.com but I see we've missed this one and a couple of others. We'll get it added and get the new staff that missed this trained. Thanks for spotting!

@nick_t,

Thanks for the O'Reilly eBook link.

@Jim,

Just wondering if Wrox also offer discounted eBook companion similar to APress, Orielly and MS Press such that when you register your printed book (either purchase from them or otherwise, e.g. from Amazon), you only need to pay $5 for the eBook. For example, checkout https://www.apress.com/index.php/companion/

I think that makes sense because I already only owned (and read as mentioned) the printed book. Just wanted the eBook for easy reference while working. Otherwise, for a customer it feels like your are paying double for a single item.

Regards,
Midas

No unfortunately we don't. We had set up a similar program to let people buy the print and ebook together for a single low price but it was a ton of work to maintain and not enough customers used it so we stopped. Sorry.
