Is there a discount if I buy the print and pdf version of the same book?
Is there a discount if I buy the print and pdf version of the same book?
Other publishers like Manning and your partner Pragmatic Programmer offer the pdf for a print book for just additional US$10, while if I buy both print and pdf for o-reilly I pay US$30 or more for the pdf version.
I want those two, and maybe more (promotion buy 2, get 3):

Inappropriate?Hello Lozano,
Not yet. The ability to bundle a PDF and print version of the same book at a discount is something we've had on our roadmap for a long time, but we held off on implementing it as we upgraded our backend systems. Now that we've done that, we're testing the bundling feature now. In the meantime, you can use our Buy 2, Get 1 Free offer by using code OPC10 in our shopping cart. I know it's not exactly what you're after, but we'll have it soon.
Thanks for your interest in our books!

Inappropriate?Allen, can you clarify a question. Why does someone need to pay more for a PDF version when you already had paid for the printed version? Aren't they the same thing?
I’m a bit annoyed

Inappropriate?Hello Marcelo,
The bundling feature has been available for awhile now. I thought I'd updated all threads related to this, but obviously missed this one. Not only can you purchase a bundle, but are working towards making three electronic versions of each books available for the price of one, a PDF, .ebook, and Kindle-compatible .mobi format. You can read the announcement about this at http://toc.oreilly.com/2008/07/30-ore... .
