Don't buy this if you are using Linux

First of all, I could not download the PDF file using Firefox browser on Linux. My friend kindly downloaded it using her Windows PC. However, I was not able to read it on Linux since it requres Acroread 6.0 or higher. The latest acroread for Linux is still the version 5.0. I thought it would be handy to have the e-book on the machine I write Java programs using Eclipse but it is now just sitting in my friend's Windows PC. Amazon.com should clearly state required OS, software, and hardware to view e-books they sell. I am sorry for the authors but if a book, especially a computer book, is not readable to Linux users, I must say that it is a bad book regardless the contents. I hope that the author complains to the publisher about this situation and that everyone will be able to read this book soon.
