CAVEAT AVCTOR (WP34S)
Posted: Fri May 31, 2019 10:35 am
For those of you interested in the WP34S (ancestor of 43S):
Please note that Amazon took CreateSpace 'home' early this year. In doing so, it changed its price policy (although it officially claimed nothing would change). Guess why?
Now, the author can't edit anything anymore at the WP34S and WP31S manuals being offered there or the price will be calculated newly inevitably. Meaning it would rise significantly, even when just a typo in the offer is corrected. My mails to Amazon's 'customer care' in this matter were not even answered. In consequence, I refuse to participate in this rip-off.
So for the time being and although the links given on https://sourceforge.net/projects/wp34s/ have to point to Amazon now, you can still get said printed manuals for the old price as offered under CreateSpace the time before that takeover. If you don't need a printed copy, however, you can get a personalized pdf of the WP34S Manual and Calculation Guide of 2015 (version 3.3 build 3778) directly from me for a donation of 9.00 US$ to the WP34S project (renewing my offer of 2015); this is more, BTW, than the royalty Amazon pays to the author for each print sold.
For future books or manuals to be printed on demand, I will certainly try finding another publisher. I recommend other potential authors to do the same.
