Thanks for the link.

Is this something new from Microsoft? I never saw it before.

Excellent.

But if ebooks are really going to take off we need to persuade the publishers and authors that they should be producing ebooks.

The catalogue includes NO microsoft press books at all.

Nothing about .net

If MS wants to push ebooks (which I am all for I'm running out of shelf space) they should start in their own backyard.
