I think it's included when you buy Deciso hardware.

Available as (FREE) E-Book

bundled with Deciso products & services

It's pretty clear to me from the website?


Cheers,

Come on guys. That is not clear at all. The "Available as (FREE) E-Book" is clearly on a line by itself. They look like (and could be) separate statements.

The book was written by an author which is in no relation to OPNsense or Deciso.
And this guy has to feed a family and own life for sure, also he/she didn't copy the documentation or something else. Maybe there's a deal that Deciso pays him some money with every selled unit or whatever.

I don't understand the problem? The official documentation should be just fine for all, every specific problem can be discussed here in the forums.

I'm sorry I should've been clearer. I fully support charging for the book. I believe the text formatting (specifically the "Available as (FREE) E-Book" on its own line) is causing some confusion among myself and others that there is a free e-book available.

We're reading it as two separate statements:
- "Available as (FREE) E-Book"
and
- "bundled with Deciso products & services"

Edit: I just finished setting up opnsense for the first time. It's beautiful software. I'm just going to mark this as me being the idiot who can't read and move on but I suspect you're going to get a lot more idiots like myself with how it's currently formatted. Thank you for making good software anyway and I wish you luck.

I'm looking to buy this, but would like to purchase an ebook format (i like reading something like this on tablet)

Amazon only has paper copies.  The bundled version is an ebook.  Is there somewhere you can buy an e-book copy?

As it seems, it can be purchased via Google: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=P9ihDwAAQBAJ
