Had a quick look. Much more complete than the original about the features.
I like it. Thanks Mark for the advanced peek.

Hi, page 38 has a sample:
"DEFINE QLOCAL(A-Q) REPLACE +..."
This queue name is confusing, "_" is ok , but "-" isn't

there should be a more official manner of submitting comments to the draft redbook that will likely catch official attention sooner... if you look at the page again...
There's a "Feedback" link, and a 'discuss this book link' and a 'rate this book' link. The Feedback link should be used in preference for editorial, but comments on 'discuss this book' are certainly a good choice as well. |

| I've not seen any plans from the redbook organisation to produce another variety, but I'm told you can use calibre to convert. Need to try that myself ... |

Shouldn't Kindle be able to deal with the EPUB format?
I know Epub is much more widespread in Europe and is a standard there...
However if you go the specific route why Kindle vs tablet, vs itunes vs ....
Did you check if your Kindle could handle the EPUB format?

| Maybe newer Kindles handle epub, but I don't believe so. My DX definitely does not. But the calibre-converted version looks fine on both Kindle for PC and the real DX. |

If IBM published at least some of the introductory Redbooks on the Amazon Kindle site (priced at zero $), people could order them and have them delivered to their device in seconds.
I don't have any other e-book devices but presumably the same would apply. You might say "why should IBM bother?". It really depends if they want to have their documentation (even) more accessible.
If they were to convert their Epub once to kindle format and publish it - then it potentially saves hundreds of people doing the same thing and transferring it manually.
I would also mention that you can get the free Kindle reader application for any Android device, i-phones, Windows PCs etc. |

I suggest you contact redbooks@us.ibm.com if you want to discuss that organisation's choices. I have no idea what future plans they might have, but publishing even in epub is new for these documents so I expect they're seeing what takeup there is for one format before extending it further.
See http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks.nsf/epub?Open for the epub announcement. |
