Great find! Picking up Network Warrior as we speak

I rewarded them for their reasonable eBook sales price by purchasing 10 of my favorite books in eBook format.

Not in my "top 10" -- but worth a spot on my Kindle DX and/or iPod Touch. Went back for it and made it out with only 3 more eBooks

Yeah -- you'll have access on your account page (and from your mobile devices)..... once the server load decreases from the eBook Gold Rush.

It took a few minutes for my first 10 eBook order to complete. The 2nd 3 eBook purchase when a lot quicker.

I tried logging in to my account page from my Kindle DX, but the hamsters powering the O'Reilly web server seem to be tired and I couldn't get into my account. I'm going to wait until tomorrow to try downloading again since they seem to be getting hammered....

5/21/2010 — Due heavy server volume you may experience
trouble downloading your ebooks.
We expect to have the issue resolved soon. Please continue to check back....

What were in your top 10?

Anything with Cisco or JUNOS in the title

I did grab the TCP/IP Network Admin book since I spent a lot of time in that back in my old UNIX days -- and a couple of the Security books.

I'm still fighting the urge to "eBook" my UNIX/Linux and Java O'Reilly collections. I ripped the "Greatest Hits" CDs years ago and still lug those ISOs on my Laptops.

Edit: The "Greatest Hits" were the old CD Bookshelf products.

Just for kicks I searched the Android Market for 'MCSE' the other day and bought the 70-291 MS Press ebook from Oreilly Media for $9.99. They've got a ton of books there between $4.99 and $9.99.

I have seen a lot of the books for the IPhone. Looks like the Training kits are all 9.99

O'Reilly seems to have figured out this eBook thing.

It seems I can upgrade any of my existing "old fashioned books" to multiple eBook formats and read them on my PC, Kindle, or iPod Touch for one very reasonable price.

Some vendors that used to provide a free PDF version on the CDs provided with their books seems to have figured out they can remove them from the CD and charge an "Arm & a Leg" for a Book/eBook combo -- or an outrageous price for the eBook alone.
