Cocoa Programming for Mac OsX Third Edition eBook search
-
Greetings,
Does anyone know where I can find / get the "Cocoa Programming for Mac OsX Third Edition" in eBook. I have a trip I am going on and I would like to take a few books with me - in eBook for space of course.
it seems every place I find wants me to read it online - or download their stupid reader, which doesn't support OS X 10.5
I find that stupid. A book about Mac programming, not supported on a Mac.
But I digress.
Anyone know where I can get the above book in eBook ?
Thanks,
Jamie -
I ran into the same thing. Probably one of my biggest complaints
about Addison is that the ebooks they do are digitally signed and that
the ONE platform Acrobat reader doesn't support for digitally signed
ebooks (aside from a beta reader if you dig around) is the Mac.
Rather ironic given the subject matter of the book.

If you have a Safari account (http://safari.oreilly.com/) and enough
download tokens, you could download each chapter as a PDF. Other than
that, I don't know how you could get a Mac-compatible copy of the book.
Jason -
Given how many chapters there are you'd probably use up all of your
available PDF credits that way just to get a copy of the book
(presuming you've had your account for a few months).
But yes, that's probably the only readily available option at this
point (aside from just buying a print version of the book).

Has anyone tried reading it with Adobe Digital Editions
<http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/>? Despite ill-informed
rumour saying that it is "beta", it is actually now in version 1.6 and works
perfectly well here for such DRMed titles, under Leopard, in Windows form
under VMware, and on a suitably authorised Sony Reader...

I used it not for Hillegass' book, but for the Angush, Buck, Yacktman
Cocoa Programming book because I couldn't find a hard copy for less
than $100. I was at first disappointed that it used Digital Editions,
but over the 1200 or so pages of the book I grew pretty comfortable
with it.
But the OP wanted to use it in an ebook. Does this format work in
ebooks? -

Paul,
I do not know exactly which format the book is provided in (and 'ebook' is
of course not a single format, but a generic term). However, Adobe Digital
Editions does work with several different formats protected by Adobe DRM,
including protected PDF, and Open eBooks (.epub or Adept) that are similarly
protected. I do not think that it works with BBeB (Marlin) eBooks, though.
Hence my question.
Howard.

Thanks for that info. Last time I tried the Mac version all I could
find (that supported DRMed PDF) was a beta of the 1.5 release. I'll
install this tonight.
