PDF version of the Book
-
…got my copy of the book from Amazon last week. Are things going to change much in pfSense 2.0 ?
-
The fundamentals of network won't change, and there are several areas that are the same or similar, but there are a lot of changes in 2.0. The book for 2.0 will be coming, but it won't be any time soon (perhaps a year or so would be an aggressive estimate at this stage)
-
I didn't see it mentioned here, but Amazon is selling it for the nook now for $30. (assuming epub format or similar) I thought i'd let you know in case this isn't supposed to be available digitally. Otherwise, neat :-) Especially since "there's an app for that"
Just purchased the physical copy myself however :-) I personally like having the physical book, but it would be "convenient" to have a digital copy to quickly reference away from home/work.

Yeah we just got the Kindle version going a couple weeks ago. That's a good way to get it, too. I still prefer dead trees for such things, but PDF/Kindle/etc are good for searching.

What's the general opinion of the Kindle version of the 'pfsense definitive guide'?
The only review specific to the kindle on Amazon says it's a poor experience.. so can anyone recommend either the kindle version over the paperback? -
I have the paperback and its fantastic. I can't imagine that the Kindle version would be a problem though, Kindle books are generally very good.

It's ugly at times, but I like it quite a bit. Can't wait for the new version though so the features described/listed match the version I'm running. :)

That to me sounds like the kindle version is 'OK' but has some rough edges… just want to make sure that I don't end up buying the paperback after buying the kindle version.

Would just like to add: money is burning in my pocket to buy a v2.0 of the book, preferably a PDF, but paper still works for me :)
-
I tried to buy the kindle version of it tonight, but for some reason it isn't available anymore for Kindle (as far as I can tell).
-
Amazon had flagged some formatting issues in the book, last I heard the publisher was working to fix it up and get it posted again. It looks like the Kindle version is available again now.
