Today I ordered an eBook from Diesel. It's a TOTAL waste of $40+
"Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer"

Here's the email I've just submitted:

"Ticket Submitted.

Ticket Subject: Recent Order

Well,
This was a total waste of money. This is an involved package. You need to have it beside you while you work through it.
There's no point having it up on your screen, as when it's readable size you cannot see the screen, therefore you cannot work through the examples.
I shall now wait to get a printed version from either Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Borders. Not happy in the least for wasting nearly $40.
Expecting a response within the next FIVE days."

Pity - looks as though it could be a good book. Neve rmind.

I'm still not fond of electronic versions of books either. I have the book you mention in "Real" paper and like it very much. For one thing it doesn't take electricity or software to read it except for maybe a lamp now and them. I try using electronic versions of books on Safari now and then and find them quite awkward to work with for the reason you mentioned. My condolences.
