I just bought it. A couple of notes on the process (I haven't received it yet): I paid with PayPal (yeah, I know, but I figured I would probably be the only one in this crowd who would do that for you) and it was weird because after I paid I was asked for "billing information" (notably email address, etc.). I was wondering if my payment had been registered.

Secondly, in my "profile", I elected to take advantage of your delivery to my wi-fi Kindle. However, my email account for delivery is not @free.kindle.com, but just @kindle.com

Will I get it?

EDIT: The download link landed in my spam box. Still haven't received the wifi download. Not giving up on it just yet.

Sorry to hear about your trouble, and thanks for buying my book. For delivery issues, I would recommend you get in touch with PragProg's support here: http://pragprog.com/contact

Please let me know if the Kindle issue isn't resolved.

OK got it. You have to allow @pragprog.com to be one of your "allowed senders" on your Amazon Kindle management website. @free.kindle.com is set up automatically, so that wasn't the problem.

EDIT: BTW, hadn't heard from support when I found the fix.

Everyone has both an @kindle.com and @free.kindle.com account. With a wifi-only Kindle there's really no difference. If you have a 3G Kindle, then your Kindle will only receive things sent to the @free.kindle.com address when it's connected via wifi. When you do this you don't have to pay for the 3G delivery fee.
