Hi Matt,

Just curious, but why not a free PDF version also? Someone's only going to get the kindle version and convert it anyway.

Hi Dave Bear,

I do not want people to put the files on websites. If I will give PDF then people will start distributing illegally or may be even start distributing the print editions of the book. There is a lot of appearance difference between paperback edition and kindle edition of the book. Kindle files are displayed best in Kindle so they will not be mass distributed. Also, they will not be used to create paperback editions. I am giving this book free for 5 days. After that its cost will be back to $30 and it will be illegal to distribute it without permission. I want people to use the book ethically. If someone in this group has written a book on CAD then he/she can know how much efforts it take to write a book.

Hi Matt,

I understand fully where you are coming from, and I also know how much effort people like yourself put into such publications (which is not taken for granted I might add) but I could almost guarantee you that some low-life is going to get your kindle version and convert it anyway as mentioned. At least if you did it, you'd have the control so to speak.

Hi everyone!!

I am sorry to bring this dead post alive again. I hope the students and newbies SolidWorks user will be finding the book useful for them. I would also like to tell you that there were 600 free downloads in those five days, which was more than what I was expecting. I would be very happy if people can give their reviews about the book here.
