I would have felt better about Ebook pricing if you included the kindle version. I keep my reference books on a kindle with a 2 month battery. My tablets are always out of power when I need them.

A kindle version is a good idea. The PDF is difficult to read on the kindle in its current layout and an auto-conversion by Calibre makes it worse.
I'm limited to reading this on my laptop and my phone now. It looks like good content. shame about the format.

I don't know... the code on the book is meant to be read and immediately tried. What's better than a PC / Laptop for that?
That, and the difficulty (for me, at least) to get a decent book filled with screenshots and examples in epub / mobi, is the main reason why a chose to not produce Kindle-ready formats.
I had doubts about the pricing until the very last second before launching. But all in all, I just remembered all the work and passion I put in it, and decided to go on with this pricing.
Now that a good number of purchases are done, I just can't change my mind. So I'll go on, and learn whatever there will be to learn from this amazing experience.
