Order the electronic format
I am happy to announce that starting with 01 January 2024, “Delphi in all its glory [Part 1,2,3]” is available in electronic format. The e-books are delivered under my own reader (exe file) called Orinoco eReader.
Advantages
- No more trees are sacrificed to print the book!
- Smaller price.
- Fair price – With the printed book, most of the money was going to the publishing house. Now, more money (except VAT, credit card fees, corporate taxes & expenses) goes to the author.
- You can read the book from your laptop. You can copy/paste the code source.
- The graphs/screenshots in the book are color instead of just black and white!
- On-screen images have much better resolution than the images in the printed book.
- You can zoom in on the images.
- Easy bookmarks (infinite number).
Disadvantages
- Only for Windows users – A reader for Android will be available probably in February 2025.
- An Internet connection will be required in order to read the book. Note: This is not a subscription or other similar trickery. The book is yours for life. But you will have to connect to the licensing server to validate that you purchased the book.
How to install
Download all three books. Run the setup and go to the “Library manager” to choose which book to read.
The trial program will let you read about 25% of each book for free.

How to order
Open a book and click the link at the top of the program to place your order. You will receive the unlock key seconds after your purchase (check your Spam/Junk folder if you don’t). Open the Library Manager to enter the key. However, it will take 24h while until the activation server gets updated (but you will still be able to read the first chapters of the book while waiting).
Payment
Multiple payment methods are available.
VAT or sale tax may apply depending on your country.
