Kindle Edition of The Pragmatic Programmer for $2.99

For the ones that are seeing a different price. There is a small trick workaround for that. You can generate a real US address here: <a href="http://www.realusaaddress.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.realusaaddress.com/</a> and make that your primary address. As you as shipping digital stuff it doesn't matter that it's not your real address. Prices of the Kindle store should drop immediately.<p>Watch out when making non digital purchases though that you select the correct address ;-)

I hope this trend catches on.<p>Between my Kindle and iPad, I'd really like to never buy a physical book ever again. But then I still have four full book cases from before Kindle existed. I want to "upgrade" to ebooks, but I don't want to spend the money. At $3 each, I'd at least upgrade some of the better ones.

Awesome price, but worrisome for the state of high quality digital publications. I feel that this is worth much more than $2.99, and I am afraid that it will become a race to the floor .<p>Does anyone involved in print publications know what the cost distribution is on a book's sticker price?

PG could you please change the title to reflect its only $2.99 in the US?<p>Im in OZ and it's $31.99

Bit bummed that it's not available on Amazon.co.uk for even £2.99... Instead it's £15.30<p>Think I've got the physical book somewhere anyway. It's just now that I travel a lot, I like to have the Kindle version as well.<p>Seth Godin seems to be able to synchronise his deals/giveaways between amazon.com &#38; amazon.co.uk... Shame this wasn't as well.

Be warned that this is a very clunky e-book port -- they don't make much effort to adapt the sidebars and quotes to .mobi format, so you end up reading into the middle of them without realizing it.

This is really an excellent book. I feel like this book was the pivotal thing that really let me see how the small amount of programming I knew could be so much more with the practices preached in that book.<p>It took me from "OK I get how to program in Java, but how the heck do I build this cool stuff I see everyday?" to "oh, if I wanted to do that I can see pretty much how I would build it (regardless of language)"<p>It's a must read.

Does anybody know of a good PDF version of this book? The only one I've found is at Safari Books Online, which is a subscription site with "tokens". It appears to let you download the book chapter for chapter.<p><a href="http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/software-engineering-and-development/020161622x" rel="nofollow">http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/software-engineering-an...</a>

I see a price of $31.47

I'm midway through this book and I'm fairly disappointed with it. It's not a bad book, bu much of the advice in it is common sense. And the parts that aren't common sense aren't very convincing (silly metaphors etc). Some of these 3-star reviews do a good job of reviewing it:<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Pragmatic-Programmer-Journeyman-ebook/product-reviews/B000SEGEKI/ref=cm_cr_pr_hist_3?ie=UTF8&#38;filterBy=addThreeStar&#38;showViewpoints=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/The-Pragmatic-Programmer-Journeyman-eb...</a>

Maybe they meant to type 29.95 or similar but somehow typed something like 2.995?

By the by, for those familiar with the pragmatic bookshelf, and were hoping to get it without DRM on that site, this was published by Addison Wesley, not pragmatic bookshelf.<p>One wonders how much the authors' experience publishing with Addison Wesley led to their founding Pragmatic Bookshelf.<p>They do have a page for the book on their site:<p><a href="http://pragprog.com/the-pragmatic-programmer/" rel="nofollow">http://pragprog.com/the-pragmatic-programmer/</a><p>But the buy link is broken:<p><a href="http://pragprog.com/the-pragmatic-programmer/titles/tpp" rel="nofollow">http://pragprog.com/the-pragmatic-programmer/titles/tpp</a><p>In short, just buy the damn thing from Amazon.<p>I've used my Kindle everyday for two years. This is the first DRM'd ebook I've ever bought.

Affiliate tag? Not cool.

To anyone outside the US, you can easily add a second US address (or any other country) to your kindle account.<p>Go to Your Account &#62; Manage Your Kindle (in the Digital Content section) &#62; Country Settings &#62; Enter any US address and click update<p>You will now have US pricing. You can go ahead and add different addresses in other countries and you can simply switch between them to take advantage of different pricing, because Amazon remembers your previous addresses. The country you have selected has no effect at all on being able to download the book, you can still download from anywhere.

Reading the comments/reviews on Amazon, and I was wondering what peoples take on this book is for non-coders?<p>I'm purely editorial/product (not project) management - but this looks like it could give me a rounded understanding of best practice.<p>Those who have read it, would you recommend to someone of my background?

In the US, logged into my US Amazon account that is linked to a Kindle I see the price of $2,99

Wow, so this is the first time I've seen one-click purchasing (It's not normally enabled for me). It's <i>really</i> disconcerting. Not that I want to (and it's only $3) but is there any way to <i>cancel</i> a one-click purchase? It's not obvious..

Any US users want to help us foreigners out by gifting it for the $2.99 price?

Must have been a limited time offer -- I got a sample sent to my Kindle, and now that I'm ready to buy it's jumped back up to US$22.79.

Unfortunately not available to italian customers, who'd have to purchase it at 19 euros (23 dollars). Is there a legal workaround?

$4.99 over here because of Whispernet.... (darn, and it would just use wifi anyway)

Crap, I bought it a couple months ago for full price, should have waited.

Philanthropy or Strategy?

Thanks! That is quite the discount.

It's priced at 34 USD in India. :(

Croatia - $4.99 - still a bargain

This is awesome!

fuck you, you just cost me 27$. You should have mentioned (for US only)<p>My mistake for completely trusting something i read here. next time i ll be double checking. lesson learned.
