What better way to sell the Print Edition of a book than by offering the electronic version for no cost, so the reader knows exactly what they’re getting? Our hope is that some readers, having seen the high quality of the book after reading the PDF Edition, will want to purchase the Print Edition. Although Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference is not community documentation, it’s nice to offer something to Ubuntu users that they might find useful. If the book introduces just a few more people to the wonders of the world’s favorite Linux then we’ll be happy.
