I’m in IT, books and Google are just part of my life.  I subscribe to Safari Books Online because and I use it a lot.  I’ve got both a Kindle and my iOS devices and I have books across both.  But one in awhile there are books that I want to own.  I call/categorize these as foundational books.  These are books that I want to refer to often.  Then there are topical books which I refer as needed.

I was looking for a couple of “foundational” books on Amazon and found one that I wanted.  So I paid the $28 dollars and was on my way.  But what I really liked was at the end of the purchase, Amazon presented me with an option for getting the eBook version for $2.00.  $30 bucks for the pair.  Which I ended up doing so I could start reading it on the spot.  Great way of promoting/marketing the physical and virtual!
