I was going to mention but did not... In the Android marketplace, there was a deluge of O'Reilly books released that felt like a spam wave. Curiously all of the books seemed to be Microsoft Press titles so I gathered that Microsoft Press paid O'Reilly to convert and release them but I rather seriously doubt that the android marketplace is going to big outlet for Microsoft Press titles (nor the iTunes store). I am gathering that this is a new project by O'Reilly and they have come up with technology to convert and release on a myriad of platforms. I think the idea is good though and hope to see all sorts of Linux publications from O'Reilly available in the Android Marketplace but didn't see them.
