Order as eBook
All five books are available in electronic format and are delivered through a dedicated reader called Orinoco eReader.
Advantages of eBooks
- The content is always up to date! If you purchased my first printed book 6-7 years ago, you already have and obsolete version. The eBooks are constantly updated.
- No more trees are sacrificed.
- Much smaller price.
- Even if the price is smaller, more revenue goes to the author’s pocket instead of the publishing house. When you orders all book from Amazon, I receive only 72 euros from the total (183 euro). The rest goes to Jeff Bezos.
- Easy to carry. It leave in your laptop (Android soon).
- Copy and paste available.
- All graphs and screenshots are in full color instead of black and white.
- Higher resolution images than the printed edition — and you can zoom in.
- Unlimited bookmarks.
- Can be read in parallel from multiple devices.
Requirements
- Windows (Android coming 29 May 2026).
- An Internet connection is required to validate your purchase (one time). This is not a subscription — the book is yours for life.

Orinoco Reader on Windows 11


Hi Gabriel,
Looks like Book 5 – about using AI with Delphi is not available electronically yet?
Downloaded the app – how do you switch between books?
And there is no search feature across a whole book?

Hi Hallvard
1. The 5th book is now available. The other books were also updated about 30min ago. Please download again.
2. To switch between books you need to double click a book in the “Library manager”. I added a new button “Read book”.
3. Search to be implemented. For the moment you can use a rudimentary search (Press F3).
Best
Gabriel

Thanks Gabriel,
This time Chrome browser thinks the download is “dangerous” – probably because it is new and does not have a “reputation” yet?

I noted your .exe has not been signed with code-signing cert? That would probably be a good idea.
Any plans to just sell plain PDF files?
I was able to get around the “dangerous” download.
Started the process to purchase the book, but the payment site failed and cancelled the order, tried three times with one MasterCard credit card and one VISA debit card:
“Thank you
Unfortunately your credit card payment could not be processed. Please place a new order, for which you may try to use the same credit card or simply select another payment method.
Order summary
Your order ID: 42347131
Order status: Canceled”
Will try again later.
I got it all working now – have access to the book – looks very relevant and useful!
Thanks Gabriel! 🙂
Glad to hear that. I changed the program a bit based on your feedback.
Search function will come soon also.
I will re-sign the programs soon (my previous key expired).
🙂
