Unfortunately shipping at O'Reilly is $49 for my address in europe - literally more than the book + ebook bundle. Amazon on the other hand has the book for €30 and free shipping. I always wonder why companies like O'Reilly think there is no decent market for them here, would have loved to order directly from them and get the ebook as well.



I didn't even work out what the Oreilly shipping was since it required me to login and go right to the end of the ordering process.

I tend to avoid ordering books from Amazon too since they charge $5 per book plus $5 per order which usually makes them uncompetitive. Strangely enough I end up ordering most of my books via the Book Depository which is owned by Amazon anyway.
