I'm interested in buying the Fileopen PDF but I have seen you have split the whole book in several parts.

I'm more the 'have everything in one place' type. Do you offer the book as one pdf instead splitting it in a lot of pdfs?

Hello. Because of its incompatibilities with some Linux and Mac systems, we're now deprecating use of the FileOpen access method in favor of the Rollover (http://www.nrbook.com/rollover/) and Empanel (http://www.nrbook.com/empanel/) methods. These require a continuous Internet connection. But if you have any reasonable connection speed (say, 1 Mbit/s or more), these do a good job of giving you the feeling that you have the whole book locally. You can jump from any page to any page without the hassle of worring about how things are actually broken up into files.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Bill P.

Well, you could still keep the fileopen version and create a full pdf? I'm not a great fan of flash-driven applications either. They aren't more stable in Linux anyway.
