Which version did you convert, the PDF or the EPUB?

I've got TCP/IP v1 on an adobe DRM.

I converted the EPUB format.

I've successfully been able to convert PDF to HTML using a full copy of Acrobat and then to MOBI using Calibre, but I'm not certain on the legality/possibility of it with the DRM on it.

So what is EPUB and how does that differ to a PDF?

EPUB is a flowable text format. PDF is a picture format.

The description says there's a practice exam CD that comes with the book. Does the download include the image of the disc?

I like this site; I may end up having a happy "clicker" finger and a dwindling bank account...

Most of them say something along the lines of "if there is a CD that comes with the hard copy of the book, it is NOT included with the download."

Oh, and thanks for posting the links, I've already bought 5 downloads over the last week. I'm going to go broke!

I was looking at that one but I held off since it's 5 years old. I'm currently reading Deploying IPv6 Networks which is also 5 years old so I figured I didn't need another.

I did buy The Cathedral and the Bazaar for $7
