About Print Books
You can buy our print books right here at Apress.com, which includes free shipping worldwide.
You will also find our print books at all good bookstores, both online and traditional ‘brick and mortar’ stores. If you’re a retailer wishing to stock our books, you’ll find details of our worldwide distribution network on our Print and eBook Bulk Sales page.
About eBooks
You can buy our eBooks right here at Apress.com. eBooks are also available via Amazon’s Kindle Store, Barnes & Noble’s NOOK Books store, and via subscription services such as Safari Books Online or Books 24x7.
Most recent titles are available in .pdf and .epub formats. Not all titles are available in all formats, so please check on each title’s information page. It can take a couple of weeks after the official publication date for all formats to become available.
No! Once you purchase an eBook, you’ll have perpetual access to all available formats.
No, our eBooks are just regular eBook file types, allowing you to use them freely and easily across whichever devices you own. Please note, however, that we do ‘digitally watermark’ all purchases made at Apress.com.
Prior to July 2010, PDF eBooks were password protected. If you download your purchase again, the fresh file won’t require a password. If you wish to open the original download, the password will be the email address associated with your account.
Books usually appear in third-party eBook stores a few weeks after publication. We rely on the stores themselves to convert our books for their devices, so we can’t control the exact date.
