All,

Just thought I would mention that the sequel to Z4CK - Digital Force has now been released.    What is more, both the books are now being provided totally free in PDF format.  The paperback is also ready if anyone is interested in a copy.   The new book will be out soon on Amazon.com.

For more information on Digital Force and Z4CK, or to download the complete books in PDF surf along to www.z4ck.org

I'd really like to thank all you guys for your support with Z4CK, and especially offroadgeek who helped me proof Digital Force!

Cheers,

Kev

Zmig2, apologies if I didn't get back to you at some stage.   I got hit by a huge amount of spam a while back, and I may have accidentally deleted an email you sent.

For the dedication info send an email to kev at z4ck.org.   I promise to reply!!!

Ta again

Kev

so that is the name!  I love reading books especially from the "underdogs." I hope you guys understood the phrase.  I went a while back to amazon looking for the book and never found it just because it is so difficult to look for something that was not in your head to begin with.  I'll be buy z4ck today and the second one after i finish reading it.  as a matter of fact, i am doing just that on my pda.  and ill be downloading the pdf files as well.

Kevin-
I read/bought/downloaded Z4CK right after it was released and did the same again for Digital Force.
I'm already half way through reading the PDF version and am having a hard time setting it down and am eagerly awaiting the hard copy.
Great job again!

Jim

On a Z4CK note, anyone remember the Palm LifeDrive? XD

They were putting Linux on it last I heard, over at Handhelds.org

|sighs| still not a great port yet, although they've come a long way.

I just keep chuckling about an OpenZaurus port to the "PalmOne Life-Unit"

Kevin,
here's a quote from a customer's email i have to share with you:
Quote
What really made me go back on track and want to order the SL-C3200 was reading the e-book novel "Z4ck", written on a Zaurus and all about how the hero uses his beloved Zaurus all the time. Who can resist that? :-)

Thats great!   I've had a few people say to me that they wanted a Zaurus because they read Z4CK.   Do you think Sharp will ever realise the books exist?   Still waiting for the paperba4ck to hit Amazon.com, which is a little frustrating, but I'll post something as soon as it does.    Thanks again.
