After publishing the Beta version of "Practical AngularJS" Book (in both digital and print format) I was very pleasantly surprised by:
a) the number of readers who got the book for free
b) the number of buyers
c) the general positive kudos of the reddit threads that I started about the book
Using the Leanpub system available on https://leanpub.com/Practical_AngularJS there were 567 downloads/registrations and 24 purchases (which is a really great, if we take into account that the book is still in a early beta format, and they 'choose to buy', since there was the option available to get it for free).
Here is the text of the 'new version update' message that was sent to all readers:
Hi, Thanks a LOT for becoming one of the first 657 readers of this book. I really appreciate your support, and I hope that the experiences and ideas documented will help you in your 'AngularJS Adventures'.
As you probably noticed by now, LeanPub is a different type of model for publishing books, where beta/pre-release versions are made available as soon as they are ready. The idea is that updates are released often, with the readers providing (as much as possible) feedback and suggestions of what should also be covered.
With that in mind, here is my first update :) I made a number of fixes and reordered the posts (hopefully the current order will make more sense).
If you want to provide feedback, please feel free to to use the LeanPub forum at https://leanpub.com/Practical_AngularJS/feedback or email me directly at dinis.cruz@owasp.org
