&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear Og Maciel,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is just to let you know that &lt;em&gt;Pragmatic Guide to Git (eBook)&lt;/em&gt; has
recently been updated. You own an electronic version of this book, and
so you&amp;rsquo;ll be able to download this latest version. We have also sent
it to &lt;a href="http://Amazon.com/"&gt;Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt; for delivery to your kindle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Changes in This Release&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Third printing: includes a few minor errata fixes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can get the update either by logging in to your &lt;strong&gt;Bookshelf Home
Page&lt;/strong&gt;, or (if you&amp;rsquo;re already logged in) by downloading it from
&lt;strong&gt;here&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kindle</title><link>https://omaciel.github.io/posts/kindle/</link><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://omaciel.github.io/posts/kindle/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.ogmaciel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/4205159532_76ba5831af-190x300.jpg" alt="Kindle DX"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the holidays I got a second-hand &lt;strong&gt;Kindle DX&lt;/strong&gt; from my
&lt;a href="http://www.productpasha.com/"&gt;sister&lt;/a&gt;. As I have been doing some
&lt;a href="http://www.ogmaciel.com/?p=1254"&gt;serious reading&lt;/a&gt; these last couple of
years, an &lt;strong&gt;EBook&lt;/strong&gt; reader was something that both excited and scared me
at the same time. Let me explain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Being able to carry several books, often pretty thick and heavy, in one
simple and light device has its advantages. Add to that the &lt;strong&gt;massive
number of free EBooks and regular plain text books&lt;/strong&gt; available on web
sites such as the &lt;a href="http://www.archive.org/details/texts"&gt;Internet
Archive&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://openlibrary.org/"&gt;Open
Library&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page"&gt;Project
Gutenberg&lt;/a&gt;, and all of a sudden
we&amp;rsquo;re talking about having your own private and portable library on the
go! Even &lt;a href="http://amazon.com"&gt;Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt; has several &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html/ref=amb_link_40669842_101?_encoding=UTF8&amp;amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%2F%3Fnode%3D2245146011&amp;amp;token=3A0F170E7CEFE27BDC730D3D7344512BC1296B83&amp;amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;amp;pf_rd_s=center-5&amp;amp;pf_rd_r=0JHKXGTZSV0D2B7PFQ8B&amp;amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;amp;pf_rd_p=1276331502&amp;amp;pf_rd_i=2245146011"&gt;classic
books&lt;/a&gt;
completely FREE of charge for those who have a &lt;strong&gt;Kindle&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
