Packt Publishing has an on-going issue in this regard... I'd purchased a couple books from them directly - fairly readable in PDF format, but pretty much useless in Kindle format. I noticed a number of folks over on Amazon who had purchased thru them, where you only get the .mobi format - and are effectively screwed - had the same problem. Having purchased mine directly thru Packt, I could at least read it in PDF format. If you look at any of their books for Python related subjects in Kindle/.mobi format, they are all screwed up. I hounded the CS people about it - took them a long dang time to even respond. They finally offered two other ebooks of my choice as compensation. One of the ones I chose was this web2py cookbook - even with the release date slipping a couple months, and knowing full well it would probably be unusable on a Kindle. Oh, and if you look... I don't think I've ever seen any of their books showing *any* errata listed... To be honest, I was rather surprised to see the Web2Py project working with these folks... I'd hoped maybe a change had occurred and things would be better, but opening the pdf and finding two typos in the first couple pages of the intro cured that idea. Monte
