I don't want to be that guy, specially it's open source. But I would not buy a book from Packt Publishing because of this[1] [1]https://plus.google.com/+PaulIrish/posts/XzFaHHPNSfe

I was thinking about getting this on Amazon, but all of the reviews look suspiciously fake. All of the reviewers have only reviewed this book, and one has only reviewed packt publishing books. And all of the reviews are from a 3 week period(a few months after the book's release).

Amazon allows you to get a refund during 1 week so you are not losing anything if you opt to purchase the book and the quality is sub par.

I'm never worried about a refund for a book. I'm worried that I can't a refund for my time.

Why on Amazon? O'Reilly sells it drm-free. I bought it yesterday using a coupon(which are pretty easy to find).

Clicking through Paul Irish's post to the original from mrdoob, and reading the comments, it seems to me that David Barnes from Packt responded in a pretty open and forthright way.
