Hi Esther or anyone else that can help. I'm trying to purchase a couple of ebooks from O'Reilly's ebook site and keep getting a weird thing happening.
Everytime I fill in the credit card details I hit continue and it tells me that the charge will be taken from my credit card, once I confirm / review my purchase in the next step. However it doesn't or at least I can't get to the next step. And it also clears out my credit card details I have checked with my bank and my cards fine to use internationally, I have the money in the account to cover the purchase, But yet I can't figure out wha the hells going on. And it wont give me an error messge to refer to either. Also, there is no place to put the 3 digit validation code, which a lot of online payment methods require for making a purchase. Just wondering if anyone else has had this sort of thing happen to them before and how they got through it. Thanks for any assistance on this, it's really starting to hack me off.

They sell their eBooks in multi-format bundles that include PDF files that you can read in Preview and ePub versions that you can add to your iTunes Library and read in iBooks on your iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch under iOS 4). They also have "Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Snow Leopard Edition" by the same author. All the O'Reilly books are available through Bookshare.org, internationally, although the annual subscription for users outside of the U.S. is probably the cost of buying the book from O'Reilly in an eBook bundle that includes an ePub version. Here's their web site: http://oreilly.com/ebooks/ You'll need to create an account with log in for your purchases. Once you buy the eBook bundle, you'll have access to multiple formats of the book from your log in account. They'll also tell you if the book has been updated. I'm not sure if this is still valid, but they ran a promotion for eBook purchases in connection with the iPhone (Stanza app) last year, and the coupon code "STANZACAT" on checkout gave a 40% discount. HTH.
