Great book. Any chance there are ppt/pdf slides available?

Hi Josh,

The book is available in ebook format from B&N (nook), Amazon (kindle), and directly from the publisher.

The last is DRM free, but watermarked.

It might be available through other retailers.

These are slides, but rather the full book.

is the printed book with colored images?
because i bought the greek version of the book and it's printed in black tone. i contacted with the greek editorial house to complain and they told me that the english book is also in black tone..
but i saw the preview pages in amazon and they are colored.. they said they dont know why amazon has colored pages of the book..

Hi Mosky,

Android Wireless Application Development (both current editions, and the next edition) are black print.

See, we do all of our screen shots and figures in color. We recognize that color print is expensive, but color in PDF files is free. What we did is asked the publisher to not strip the color for the ebook version.

And they agreed. So the ebook versions should have full color figures. And, apparently, so does the Amazon preview.

The Sam's books (both editions) are full color in print and ebook format. This also includes code coloring. We don't do code coloring for the AWAD books.

Hope that helps!
