Looking at the site it isn't immediately clear that you get an immediate
download for the e-book, and I think that adds an additional (mental)
barrier. Buying an e-book (and getting updated versions) on sites like
manning.com, pragprog.com, informit.com etc is really easy, which lowers
the barrier.

I am not criticizing, I just hope that offering an e-book in a simple
way will make the book reach a broader audience!
