Allen,
When I log in I have a green dot next to the iPhone book. The only versions listed though are Mobi, PDF, and ePub. How do I find the Stanza version?
Also perhaps this should be listed in the App Store description of the book.
Thanks again for a quick reply

Already bought electronic version, is the iPhone version freeAlready bought the iPhone missisng manual in electronic version. Is the new electronic version for the iPhone a free upgrade? Isn't this just another version in which to read it?
thanks -

Got the e-version. It works well in the epub format and Stanza on the iPhone. A couple of formating issues but text and images look great.
The PDF version however looks terrible in Preview on the Mac OS 10.5. The font is washed out and jagged. This does not go away even when zoomed in several times. The jagged look of the font remains no matter how close you zoom it. This makes it very difficult to read. The screen shots in the PDF version also come across fuzzy. Also the websites do not link to the web but are just text. At least when viewed in Preview.
In Adobe the website links work and the text is more crisp. The images are still fuzzy though. I also had to download Adobe to test this out. Something I haven't used for over 2 years thanks to Preview.
Over all I like the e-version, but not in Preview. Other e-books like Take Control have always worked fine in Preview. The graphics also looked fuzzy in the PDF version. -

Thanks for the reply.
The book I am looking at is the iPhone 3G Missing Manual. Its e-Version is listed at the same price as the print version. Should it be showing a 20% discount?
The Promo code I have is for previous owners of the iPhone Missing Manual. I won't post the code here so its not available to everyone, but that should give you the info you need for the promo code.
I would agree that the e-version is a huge benefit over printed versions and a reasonable discount makes sense. But having the same price as printed does not encourage the customer to go for the e-version. Especially when the bundle (printed plus e-version) price makes the e-version look as though it would be cheaper as the bundled version is only 7.50 more. I realize the bundling includes a discount on the e-version.
Thanks

Use promo for e-version of bookI have a promo code for iPhone 3G missing manual. How do I use it for the electronic version?
Also can you explain why you promote e-versions as a way to save a tree but make the price the same as the physical book [printing (ink and paper) binding (cover and glue) distribution (fleet, gas) sales management (bookstore who stock the book) inventory (physical space to store the books)]
