Baby steps, I suppose. You’re going to make PDF’s available… of “purchased” books.
But if I have a subscription plan I can’t purchase a book, so I can’t download a PDF (or an ePub, which is what I really want.)
Started reading your new App Distribution book but gave up with your Safari-only reading experience. Again, I need to seriously reconsider my subscription plan.
Anything I purchased prior to subscribing I can get. But the store doesn’t allow subscribers to download anything new, nor, for that matter, can subscribers even purchase a book so they can download it.
My primary mode of consumption is reading ebooks on iPad. And RW took that away for subscribers…
Thanks for your message. You’re right, subscribers cannot download the books to read offline, and currently the option to purchase a book is not visible for subscribers.
However, if you’d like to purchase a book, you can email us at support@razeware.com with the name of the book you’d like and we can sort this out for you no problem by creating a custom order for you.
Please let me know if there’s anything else you need :]
Thank you for making PDFs available again for those who bought your books.
I have an impression that the problem here was that there were no communication from you to the raywenderlich.com readers (or I missed that) - why did you decide to remove PDFs that were here for years.
Now I understand that you wanted to find something that allows to provide books in the subscription, but on the other hand, something that protects your rights and your money.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how it works, so I can’t tell whether there is any way to provide downloadable versions to subscribers.
Ultimately, as books owner I’m happy that I will be able to read in PDFs as before.
