CISSP CBK updated book
I've been reading the CISSP CBK sample copy on my spare time because that's my idea of a good time. I should be around halfway through it in April. The exam is being updated at that time. I want to buy the book, but I don't want to spend $62 for the iTunes version if it's going to be irrelevant in a few months. Is there anyway around paying for this book twice other than not paying for it at all? I'm assuming the iTunes version doesn't come with a free update to version 5 of the CBK. Is there a legal PDF version that comes with the hardcover? Do I have any options here? Does anyone know when the new CBK typically comes out?

I would say it depends on when you want to start preparing and plan on taking the exam. If you aren’t going to test at least by the summer, I would wait for the new book...otherwise you can do very minimal gap studying once you see the changes before you test.
As a side note, an extra $60,80,100 for a certification that is a game changer, doesn’t seem too crazy.

iBooks lets you download a "sample" of almost any book. I downloaded it. It contains all of the introductory stuff (Table of contents, acknowledgements, etc) and most of the first chapter.
I want to really start preparing around May 1 (to test in the fall). I've been reading the CBK and I like it, but I don't want to pay for what will be an expensive paper weight in 4 months. On the other hand, you and cyberguypr have a point. It will still be a good reference and the knowledge gained is still valuable.
If you look at it as simply a matter of money, the $60 isn't much. Thanks!
This is great. Thanks for sharing!!!
