Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Programming for the Absolute Beginner
$29.99
The cover of the book clearly indicates 'Web Downloads Available' - however, I can't find a website listed anywhere!!! Now it tells me to install Visual Basic Express - but doesn't tell me where to get it. If I'm frustrated by this incredible lack of information on page 6, I imagine I'll be returning this book tomorrow. (Is there supposed to be a CD? Because there is no CD... Another website says it comes with a CD, this website does not say that, and I bought the book at a local bookstore with no CD... so... I'm stuck.)

Sams Teach Yourself Visual Basic 2008 in 24 Hours: Complete Starter Kit

Like the ANY Kindle-only downloaded eBook on an iPHONE, this eBook is USELESS for technical users who need to "mark" in the book or search text.

I can't SEARCH in it (for a phrase); I can't save Notes nor Highlights (yes, I can read them on the iPhone-version if I actually had a KINDLE!!!). All I can do with the iPhone version is READ it and add Page-bookmarks (not "bookmarks w a note"). I can't even Copy the Programming-Code-Sections to paste it into my Visual Basic programming environment (unlike a PDF file).

If you purchase the ACTUAL PDF version of this book elsewhere, at LEAST you could use Adobe Acrobat PDF reader to search in it (and add bookmarks). SO, either buy the book or buy the PDF version, NOT the Kindle-only version.

DO NOT BUY THE EBOOK-KINDLE-VERSION, if you are buying this for the iPhone.
