Hi folks,
my publisher PacktPub is celebrating the release of its 1000nd book.
During this event they give away a free ebook to everyone who is already signed up or will sign up this weekend. So it is a great time get my book for an example. Or any other ebook.
Details about this you can see here:

So how does this work? Is free offer already available, or will be available next week for a whole week. Is offer only for one e-book?
It seems that your book is not available for download (free ebook link greyed out) in the top right area next to the 'My account' link in the library.
Just checked it, I could download it.
It means that you have already claimed your free ebook. You can get only one.
By the way @MikeHart. How comfortable are you with packt as a publisher? What made you to choose them? Why not O'Reilly or Apress? I have nothing against packt, I'm pretty loyal their customer. Just want to get feedback from authors. Did you research before publishing and packt was a better option, or they made a better offer?
Couldn't find which one are available, in fact.
He then called me this evening and told that he tried registering with other email and received registration confirmation in the email and was able to download any e-book. I don't know was it due to email provided, or unproper account handling during registration, but some accounts seem to be limited and your best bet would be to simply create a new account
I understand now : they had some server issues and I believe that they temporarily restricted the ability to download ebooks for some subscribers.
Today the link to download an ebook for free is available so they probably gave this right by batch (I didn't need to create a new account).
