Thanks to IBM, you can now have a free copy of Green IT for Dummies (1.5mb pdf)
Just did it myself and confirmed it works… Just fill out everything with an asterix and it takes you straight to the download page (no email check)
Comes in PDF format - opened mine with free open source SumatraPDF
Shamelessly stolen from slick deals
Direct link here << confirmed works. I'll leave this down here, just so i dont annoy ibm
FYI, IBM marketing in the guise of a Dummies book.
Can confirm that the direct link to the ebook works, thanks! :D
thanks, i wasnt sure, just in case submitting the form unlocked it :/
worked for me too… thanx…
thanks davo for the direct link, saves the trouble
I did what Mikinoz mentioned, if you choose "hard-copy" it seems to be order successful without mentioning anything about postage. So this is a Freebie IT Book (delivered!) as well as an Ebook freebie :D
There is on the right hand side, there is a radio button that ask which format do you prefer? it has dl and hardcopy dl is ticked by default
Thanks for clarifying that Mikinoz for people who may have missed it.
No worries , thank you
Cool I'm gong to print this out in colour so I can read it while I drive my 4WD in my backyard.
stay warm with a drum fire.
only the cover is in colour lol
You should also drink at the same time. lol!
Thanks, also for the direct link.
Grabbed the pdf but ordered a hard copy also, its likely the only way I'll actually read it, not a big screen reader.
I totally agree, I got many ebooks, but if I'm going to actually be bothered reading it.. it's got to be in a hard book.
I too have a large collection of ebooks although lately i have found a binder at work and have been making hard copies of the relavant ones when needed, makes it more portable but then totally agree reading is meant for paper lol
ahh alas the paperless office / home was a dream for someone :)
I know what you are saying but I'd really suggest skimming through this PDF before getting/printing the hardcopy unless you really are wanting to purchase IBM products/services to the exclusion of others…
Here's the same book presented by HP without having to waste resources. Green IT should mean that its in softcopy only :(

Think of it as small scale carbon sequestration :-P
Ordered 1… Thanks :)
Actually there are a few of these in the series, although that's the only one I know of where you can get a hard copy. Another one here: SOA for Dummies - https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/signup.do?sour…
Disclaimer: I work for IBM (does that mean I get to be a "rep"? :-P)
Is this another hard-book freebie delivered? If so you should make a deal, if not i will lol. Just signed up for it and it said "Thank You" doesn't really like to tell you what's going on this site.
No, sorry the SOA one is definitely eBook only, no hard copy. I'll let everybody know if I come across any others.
thanks for declaring :)
Got this today, looks like it may be a while
