Hi, Luigi. Yes, it's being printed now. The post includes links to places where you can pre-order it.

Is the book available in printed format too?

Everybody, the sample-chapters PDF has been fixed. Please download it again if you downloaded it earlier.

Great, Jeremy! As you'll see, the message will say:

Greetings. We thank you for your advance purchase of Charles Petzold’s Programming Windows, Sixth Edition ebook, and here is one more update about the timing of its final release.

The PDF will be available for downloading on January 15, 2013; the EPUB and MOBI files will be available on January 23, 2013. (You get all formats as part of your purchase.)

The last time we sent a message we said, “We also expect the book’s final length might be closer to 1000 pages rather than the original 800 page estimate.” The ebook ended up containing 1136 pages. We hope you enjoy each and every one of them, and thank you again for your support!

Thank you Devon.

I have not received any sort of e-mail update from anyone, but I was able to download the RTM (PDF) version by logging on to O'Reilly, and going to Your Account > Your Products.

Hi, everyone. We're fixing the sample chapters PDF now; sorry about that. We'll tweet and add another comment here when the corrected PDF is available.

Jeremy, a message was supposed to go out yesterday (from our distributor) to all ebook purchasers to share the final timing, but it looks like that message is going out today. The message: PDF available will be today and EPUB/MOBI will be available January 23.

Devon -

I purchased this ebook via O'Reilly's website several months ago. When I saw your anouncement (above) I went to my Account on the O'Reilly website and re-downloaded the book, thinking I would get the finalized version. But it was still the Release Preview version of the eBook. So, I guess I just jumped the gun in assuming that I could now download the final version, and I am sure that in a few short hours it will be available to people who previously purchased it. But it will be nice if you attach some type of update to this anouncement when people who have previously purchased the ebook are able to download the "RTM" version.

Thanks,

Jeremy

No, only the starting pages are correct. The rest of the Pdf is about Windows Server 2012 (Introducing Windows Server 2012 - Cap. 1).

To me it seems that works correctly. The Pdf is about Petzold's book.
