As a longtime Peachpit Press author, I admit that I’m biased… but still this special offer that I just received in my email really does sound too good to pass up:
Did you know that most of our books are also published as PDFs? When you purchase an eBook from us, you can download it right away. Then the info you need is instantly accessible on your desktop, laptop, or PDA.
In keeping with the spirit of Earth Day, we’re offering a 40% discount on the list price of all our eBooks. Visit Peachpit.com for a complete list of eBook titles and enter the coupon EARTHDAYPP during checkout. Sure, Earth Day was last week, but we can cut down on our use of paper any time. This offer is valid through 5/31/2009
This means that you can get an amazingly great price on the PDF versions of:
- Real World InDesign CS3 or Real World InDesign CS4
- Professional Design Techniques with Adobe Creative Suite 3
- Designer’s Guide to Adobe InDesign and XML
- Real World Illustrator CS4
- Instant InDesign
- Adobe InDesign CS4 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques
- InDesign CS3 for Macintosh and Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide
Of course, these PDF eBooks aren’t as cool as having a printed book at your side. But there are several significant improvements over the physical books, including faster searching, the ability to take it with you more easily, they’re usually cheaper than the print versions, and… there’s no shipping costs!
Note that Peachpit also has lots of excerpts from various books on its site. For example, here’s a list of “articles” they’ve pulled from my books.
Also, I should point out that Peachpit’s ebooks have a DRM associated with them. I’d be interested in hearing about your experience with that. (Don’t bother if you haven’t actually yet tried one of Peachpit’s PDFs, though.)
