This is most as expected, It cover a lot of informations, but is limited to version 4.x.x, there is a litte bit of 5.0 version informations but very limited. You cant find more informations on their Blog and other librarys as well, once you purchase the full version as well as tricks from other users there. Overall the book is a good buy, can’t program without it.

Hello,

Hm... I bough the eBook an amazon.de several months ago, and even though "automatic update" is enabled on my Kindles, I still receive the version of the book for B4A 6.50. Deleting the book from the Kindle and downloading it again produces the same result, it's still the book for B4A 6.50.

Is there some special magic necessary for obtaining the updated eBook from the German Amazon Kindle store?

Thanks,
Winni

I also want to buy the book. Penny Press only goto paypal, even if you select Credit Card.

I don't do amazon, due to a huge fraud case on my credit card I had a few years ago when someone hacked my card info and stuggle months to get it sorted out..

Although Amazon still advertise the 2015 version. Did a search last night again.

So I will be without it, till someone come up with another way of buying it, or can't we buy it via Erel. Never had any issues when buying from him

Cheers
Danie

The description of the book on the German Amazon site has been updated to show its version 7.3, so the file should also have been updated.
We uploaded the 7.30 version of the book to Amazon on 2 November 2017.
I suggest you contact Amazon and ask them why your update is not working.

The 2015 date is the date of the original publication. We cannot change that, but we uploaded the 7.30 version of the book to Amazon on 2 November 2017.
If you purchase from our site http://pennypress.co.uk/store-2/ and select credit card you will be taken to Paypal but do not need a Paypal account. It is Paypal who handle credit card transactions.
