Enzo80:
If you want to purchase a Wrox ebook in PDF format, the best place to purchase it is here at Wrox.com. Here's a post describing our offering which includes the PDF, ePub, and Mobile files in one purchase:
http://p2p.wrox.com/content/blogs/jm...-pdf-mobi-epub
I think this explains and provides what you need and more.

prc is the same format as Amazon Kindle and will work on your Kindle. Let us know if you have problems loading it.

Which Kindle do you have? Tell me the steps you're using to transfer the file to the Kindle and I'll walk you through it and see if I can help. I've done this on 3 different Kindles and it works fine so hopefully I can get it working for you.

TenniePlumb: I'm sorry, I can't understand from your reply what your issue is.

schuess: Glad you got it working on the Android phone Kindle app. If you have another Kindle device, let me know if I can help.
