I just ordered a copy of the EAP. Looks like it's just PDF now. Do you know if they plan on offering kindle/epub versions later in the MEAP or on release? Some manning books seem to have them and some don't. Device specific formats are often much easier to read than PDFs are.
I asked Manning about this for another EAP book, and this was their response:
At present all of our books are released as pdfs. Once the meaps are published they will be converted to mobile format epub and mobi. We understand the desire for mobile formats and we are looking to in the future, hopefully near future, to have all books available in mobile formats, meaps included. You can find all titles we have available in mobile format here: http://www.manning.com/catalog/mobile
Each book is converted manually to ensure that everything transfers to the new format as the Author intended it to appear. This is a painstaking process and does take time. Since each book is different in number of pages and images we do not have a set time frame for when each book will be available but know that as soon as the final ebook is complete it is sent to be converted.
