So amazon says that I can get the book- anyone purchase it yet? I was thinking if this was possible since the publication date is for Jan 16th.

I just ordered the paperback version on Amazon and it says it will be here by Fri. I would have preferred to get the kindle version but all the reviews up are ripping it for being incredibly slow to load a page. The one review of the paperback version says they corrected many of the errors from the 2012 edition so that already makes it a better purchase.

I ordered the new 2013 version just before Christmas, and it just arrived this afternoon.

I tried the Kindle version but was unimpressed. It looks head and tails above most of the converted Kindle etextbooks, but I couldn't remove the DRM in order to convert it to a PDF (for Notability use). Deal breaker.

please keep us updated on 2013 quality. I plan on either getting this or the 2014 edition next year since I already have 2011.

Thanks

yeah surprised to see it published and available...it's solid, not sure of the differences but I looked up something in 2012 and the pages were different, so there's that

You're not trying hard enough. It's pretty easy with the right plugins. Once I figure out the degree to which I can go into detail on this without a lawsuit (which is ridiculous, since it's about using IP that you own as you want to-- not piracy), I'll write up a tutorial.

I tried both the Calibre plug-in and Apprentice Alf's tool pack without much success. I'll admit I'm nowhere near an expert on this. I'd love to see your tutorial. The whole epub business drives me nuts.
