Per Erik’s response, that is why I de-DRMd it. I want to read all my books in one application, iBooks. I did the same thing for Bill Bryson’s “A Short History of Nearly Everything” and Marion Zimmer Bradley’s “Mists of Avalon”.

And too be cheesy, I like the page turn animations that iBooks has.

I’m all for a unified experience. It’s why I use Apple. I want a single book reading app. The Kindle app to me is just a way to get the data onto the device so I can organize it under iBooks.

HI Eric,

No idea about the iBooks thing, but I bought the Kindle version and read that on my iPad using the Amazon Kindle app. Works as a charm.

Regards,

Stefaan

Will the book become available through iBooks ? My wish is to have all my books in one app on the iPad…

I have no idea when it will be available, but I heard soon … And why de-DRM it if you can read it on your iPhone / iPad with the Kindle App ?

That’s actually how I read the book. Bought the Kindle version, put it on my iPad, and read the book while doing the examples on my MacBook Pro.

Do you know when the updated copy will be available on the Amazon Kindle? I owned a hardcopy of Cocoa Programming (3rd Edition) and still purchased the Kindle edition so I could de-DRM it for the iBooks application. I find it rather meta to be teaching myself Cocoa programming via my iPad

(Plus, it beats lugging around a hefty tome such as “Cocoa Programming…”)

The second printing (updated for iOS 4.0) is done. It is being shipped to the warehouses as I type this.

Hi Folks,

As an addendum, I’ve been informed that the second print of the book will contain the necessary updates for iOS4. Not sure when it will be available, but someone told me ’soon, we just need to do a few more tweaks’.

Regards,

Stefaan
