Free Kindle eBooks from Microsoft Press: W8.1, Azure, SQL Server and more

If you like free technology e-books, you can scoop up the “Introducing Windows 8.1 for IT Professionals” Kindle ebook (140 pages, Oct-2013 publication) by author Ed Bott from the Amazon Kindle store. I don’t know if this is a limited time offer or like this on an on-going basis. This is a Microsoft Press book, it’s not some random self-published book.

Also similarly free from Microsoft Press is this Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (144 pages, by R. Mistry and S. Misner).

But wait, there’s more freebies from your Seattle friends, the Introducing Windows Azure for IT Professionals by M. Tulloch with direct links to other file formats (mobi, epub, pdf) provided at the linked page. And for developers, they have the Building Cloud Apps with Microsoft Azure (198 pages) by many authors.

Speaking of free, this one not from Microsoft Press, but relevant considering the current internet situation, the The InfoSec Handbook: An Introduction to Information Security Kindle e-book is also free.

Also free, especially of potential interest to Android upon Intel developers, is this 500+ page Kindle e-book, Android Application Development for the Intel Platform by Cohen and Wang.

TIP #1: there are a few more of these available, one way to quickly locate them is to pay attention to the recommendations in the “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought” widget over there at amazon.com.

TIP #2: if you don’t want all these to fill up your Kindle device or smartphone storage, you can also send them to the “Cloud Reader” when you purchase them. Look for the “Deliver to” option right below the “Buy now with 1-Click” orange button. Adjust the option there _Before_ you press the Buy It Now button!
