Congratulations on the launch.
As the first author on the platform, http://conqueringthecommandline.com, and as the author of two other books (http://books.markbates.com), I can say that this was the easiest, and nicest tool chain I've worked with.
It took me from saying "I'm never going to write another book again" to "I have so many books I want to write now!".

That's certainly more descriptive. I always think of those as eBooks though. In my mind I don't really see there being a difference. HTML is one, of many, eBook formats.

No, you can read the whole thing online. The link takes you to where you can read the whole book for free.

That link should take you right to the page to start reading it online. If not there should be a big Read Online button that takes. You to that page. I'll pass the feedback on to Softcover that it's not more obvious.

Learn to master and conquer the most valuable and useful command line tools for Unix and Linux based systems. In this book you will find not only the most useful command line tools you need to know, but also the most helpful options and flags for those tools. Conquering the Command Line isn't just a rehash of the MAN page for these tools, but rather a human-readable walk-through of these tools to make you instantly more productive in your daily development life.
