   I never got an account when I bought the book. Tried to reset password but my email isn’t in the system. Did I miss something?

   Art Thompson said on October 4, 2012:

   Dear Jeff & Chris,

   I humbly submit that this book needs to be made available as an epub edition. PDF files are to ebook readers and tablet devices what fixed-width websites are to mobile browsers: an exercise in pinch-and-zoom frustration.

   That widescreen edition sure is beautiful on a 27-inch display, but it’s unusable and therefore unreadable on my Nexus 7–unlike each of the other ebooks by O’Rilley and A Book Apart that I’m currently reading. The net result is that I’m less inclined to try read your otherwise superb content, which is bad for the both of us.

   Hopefully I’m not the only one who shares this opinion.

   Regards,
   Art

     Thanks for the feedback, Art. For the next book update, we’re planning a complete overhaul aimed at further streamlining content and making it available in more formats (like ePub). You’re not the only one who has asked for ePub :)

   In the absence of an ePub edition I like the wide-screen edition. Thanks

   I’m tempted to take advantage of the special on the PDF version, but might be interested in adding the physical book later. Is there a discount on the hard copy for those who have already purchased the electronic version? Thanks for all of the hard work putting the book together – it looks great!

     Jeff Starr said on October 4, 2012:

     Hi Rodney, PDFs are included with the printed books as a free bonus, so if you’re planning on getting a printed copy it’s best to wait another few weeks if possible ;)

    When is the extended edition coming out? What about the Holiday box set with the blooper reels and interviews with the writers, where can I pre-order that?

    With the continued updates, this has been the best value for any development book I’ve ever purchased. These guys know their stuff, and how to take care of their customers!!

    (Now, if a print version found it’s way to my mailbox, that wouldn’t be a bad thing either!!)

    Hate to sound stupid but what does “Each book includes our exclusive themes & free lifetime updates” mean? I bought the printed book a couple of months ago…how do I update it?

    Thanks,

    I purchased the pdf about a month ago and would love to win a hardcopy. With the help of your book I was able to very quickly create my own theme and now have three (selectable) themes on my blog with plans to keep creating more. I’ve learned a lot in the process. Thanks for all of the great info and inspiration!

    Sweet! And with widescreen version once more :)

    I’d like to voice my looking forward to e-book reader friendly version as well though. I have a nice, steadily growing Kindle collection and PDF just doesn’t quite do it there.

      Yes, we uploaded the new version yesterday and received the following message from the Envato site:

      “Your file has been uploaded successfully. Please allow up to a week for it to be reviewed. You will be notified via email when the review process is completed.”

      So looks like next week at this point if everything goes accordingly.

    Hmm, interesting, would have to take a closer look and probably buy an e-book. Trying to widen the work area from e-commerce to also classic web pages and web presentations and WordPress seems to be the only option.

    Would love to win a printed copy! Who wouldn’t?

    Woohoo! That is awesome! I’m a hopeless newbie who wants to learn more so that I can not only support and design my own sites, but possibly branch out and do others as well.

    I’ll be buying the PDF anyway, but hope to win a hard copy too!

    bungeshea said on October 15, 2012:

    Your book sounds awesome; I’d love to win a copy!

    Often when you purchase WordPress (or Web design) books, they become out of date within a few years due to a new version of WordPress, or other software, being released.

    This is the best thing I like about DigWP is the free lifetime updates, so it is always in line with the latest version of WordPress.

    I’m waiting for the print books to come out, as I don’t always have a great deal of time to read eBooks on the computer, a hard copy I can take around with me anywhere.

    Also I really love the WordPress tips and tricks which you post on the blog. Keep up the good work!

    Do you have any early info on pricing for the print edition? Just wondering how it’s going to compare to PDF. And also – do you ship internationally (Europe)? Would love to be included in the contest!

      Jeff Starr said on October 21, 2012:

      Hey Michal, the good news is that the printed books won’t be going up in price; the bad news is that they are still pretty expensive at $75 + shipping. We do ship internationally :)

    (1) Sweet, updated edition–Can’t wait!
    (2) Ring Bound for open flat ease of use: Brilliant! (Saves going into Kinkos, getting a book’s binding sliced off, then drilled for insertion in an old 3-ring binder from a cookbook)
    (3) Yay! …list looks better with at least three.

    Luke said on November 10, 2012:

    I found a typo on page 34 of the latest .PDF download – v3.4

    Page 34, section 2.4.7, paragraph 1, sentence 3:
    The letter “a” needs to be removed from the beginning of the sentence

    And now for my question: Since I’ve bought the .PDF, how does it work when the print version comes out. If I want that too, do I buy it at full price or can I just pay the difference?

    Best regards,

    Luke

      Rodney Weis said on November 11, 2012:

      The “Early Bird Special” section above states that the discount is good through 2012-10-12, or October 12, 2012. As a purchaser myself, I can tell you it’s well worth the price, even without the discount.
