Hi,
Does anyone possess the Nikon D70 ebook by Peter iNova and Uwe

Is it any good ? And can I get it in the UK?
Thanks
Graham

that is absurd. if this guy has problems with fulfillment (shipping out)
the cds, as he states on his site, then he should be rethinking his business
model. what he charges for shipping is way more then the possible cost of
offering a secure method of electronic delivery. and doing it in an
automated fashion means he won't be wasting time burning cds, stuffing
envelopes, and making trips to the post office. just set if up once and sit
back and collect the rewards... and spend time writing more books rather
than being a shipping clerk. oh, and another benefit is the ease for
fulfillment of international orders.

i hope that the book is excellent but an e-book that is not downloadable
makes me wonder about the thinking that went into the product... you not
only have to pay for shipping but also have to wait for this e-book to
arrive in the mail... seems peculiar.

I think if you look on the site none are available for dl. The ability to
do so would require considerably more storage space and bandwidth on the
server side which aren't free, either.

Right, just to put you guys straight,,,,
Thom has delivered this e- book inside of two weeks from order it is a
beutifuly packaged item CD in a well produced container/CD folio. The e-book
is 525 pages in full and contains all the pictorial and written advice you
will ever need. Do not be skeptical at all about delivery and what you get
for £18 UKP. I printed it out in its entirety on my colour laser and it took
20 mins to print and another 30 mins to bind it up into an A5 folder/s.
E-books do not have to be downloaded only. It is better for one to have the
hard material in the form of a CD so that you cant accidentally delete it.
Now that would be a real bitch after you just bought it.

BTW you would not think to download the entire Encyclopedea Britanica or
similar would you? No you would buy the full set of DVD's so as to have the
security of such,

Even on a broadband conection one would have to wait a very long time to
download 525 PDF pages and then you could loose some of them in a broken
connection or similar.

Nah... its the CD for me all the way!

No need for me.:

10-16-04 order placed
10-18-04 e-mail confirmation, expected ship date 10-19-04
10-21-04 receipt of package

Even with U$4.95 shipping, it is still cheaper than Peter iNovas ebook.
What I'd really like to see is user's comparisons between the two e-books.
As I don't use PS, all the actions included in INova's product don't hold
any value to me.

like thom's snail mail delivery of digital data, your thinking is a bit
antiquated. if you get electronic delivery then you can back it up to cd
yourself (the reverse of you copying it to your hard disk which you suggest
that you have done). what you see as a convenience i perceive as an
inconvenience and so should the seller. i have no interest in paying to
wait for something to arrive in the post and no need for the seller to pack
and ship it... i believe that there is learning curve for those stuck in the
old way of doing things that will soon pass.
