I see that Amazon now displays the final cover design in its page for the book:
I can tell it’s the final one because that’s my actual handwriting on the signature. (Although I don’t actually sign my name that way on legal documents like my license, passport or credit cards if you were hoping to steal my identity.) I was told that the publication was moved up a few days, but I’m not sure how that will impact real world availability. Amazon lists the date as November 9, 2010 now. I’m hoping/expecting to see it in stores by the end of the month.
You really need a Kindle version of this so you can add important things like that expandable storage stuff. Oh ya…and so we don’t have to have a giant (although beautiful looking…congrats) book on the shelf or in our bag. :)
Any word on a Kindle version? Maybe soon we’ll even be able to read it on a Kindle app on WP7 (crossing fingers) while we’re standing in line to buy a micro SDHC card to exapnd our WP7 device, so we can learn from the book how to succesfully expand the memory. Whoa. I almost blew my mind with recursiveness there…

No, but there were Kindle versions of the previous books. I’m sure it will be on there.
Does Microsoft have any guidelines how the cover of your books must look like? Microsoft always uses people that do nothing on the front.
Congrats – must be satisfying to see the final cover!
Can we get it earlier as a PDF?
I will have to ask. I’m not sure what the plans are for the electronic version yet.
Nice. Would have been cooler if the cover were more Metro-esque to fit in with the whole theme.
Yeah, that’s the new “Secrets” book style. I don’t have any say over it.
