Where do you get the books?
And where do you get the books? Do you buy Downloading on the Internet? Take in the library? I would like to talk about this, namely, the availability, first of all, of high-quality literature on IT topics.
I do not know about you, but we, in Khabarovsk, have big problems with this. Finding something more than “Windows for Dummies” or “Become the super designer of Adobe Photoshop in 24 hours” is a real problem. Seldom where you will see the book for example, on AJAX yes or just on PHP. Therefore, you have to either order books by mail or download in electronic form.
Take a break from the main point and write a little about downloading books for money. I don’t buy electronic versions for money, forgive the breadth of the Russian soul. Why pay for what is next to free. Therefore, I will spend another half hour, but I will find the same book, in the same capacity, but for free. Well, of course, if I don’t already find it on the network, I’ll search in paper form ...

Books in the mail in this case - the last hope to find the desired literature. I used to take on PITER.COM, but soon left them to OZON.RU because of more efficient and cheap delivery. And the range of the latter more.
And finally, about such a lack of e-books as readability. Yes, for me it is a flaw. After spending the whole day at the monitor, sometimes, it would seem, I would like to read, but when you think that you have to stare at the monitor again, all desire disappears at once.
So today I took the electronic version of “jQuery in Action”, went to the copy center and printed it there (I just regretted my home printer). It turned out, by the way, quite acceptable - for 377 pages in PDF I gave a little less than 400 rubles, at the same time I printed two pages on a sheet and designed the whole thing in a binder. It turned out quite readable. I am pleased. Given that a book on such topics in paper form is quite problematic to find in Russia. I printed it in English ...
I would like to ask the readers where they get the books and how they cope with the problem of the availability of high-quality literature (if, of course, they have such a problem).
