Quickr Administrator Book now on Kindle

Packt let me know that our book is now available for Kindle's at Amazon.
The link is to the right of this post.

Like to know what people think about the price on this.
I question higher prices on electronic devices for books, and I am an author.

Quickr Book is Selling well

You'd think there were no other books out on Quickr.
Wait, you may be right.

I finally got my copies and read it last night. Believe it or not, they had never sent us a completed copy, had all the bits and pieces but not as a finished version.

If I can say, Packt did an excellent job of taking our edits and scribbles and making a well presented book. Going through some items I see I could have added some more screenshots but some parts were added last minute. I may add to those sections in time so the digital version will get the benefits.

Amazon has the book on sale today for $32.46 a steal compared to retail of $44.99.

You can also get the book in a digital format from Packt's website.

The book covers Domino primarily. Some sections do go over the J2EE version but at the time, unlike now, few were on the J2EE version so we went with the dominant product.

Clustering is covered as is setting up Domino, Quickr, Fix packs, interim fixes,DAOS, SSO, integrations with ECM and Sametime, plus how to customize basic sites.

Numerous people have bought it and are waiting for delivery, so what are you waiting for?

On the main Packt page they have great offers and deals on their books.

Quickr 8.5 for Domino Administration Book


Coming in January 2011 to a lotusphere and online purchasing location near you is a book I co wrote with 3 IBMers, David Byrd, Mark Harper, Olusola Omosaiye.

Did not make the updates for 851 into it but we may get a revised version out in 2011 if the interest is there.

I suspect some people will start getting review copies in January.

See you at Lotusphere. Speaking of Lotusphere, go to Ben's blogpost on his website and get the Lotusphere nsf which is the BEST way to get your calendar populated with sessions and more details.

Also Ben has included a section for Books and Courses on offer by people at or part of Lotusphere. So check out the Virtual bookstore.
