We don’t currently have an ePub build target, but I can definitely add it to our toolchain if you are interested. I don’t own any e-readers…so If you do decide to purchase the book hopefully you can help me test drive the generated ePub :wink:.

Im trying to buy the book and keep getting a 404. Am I missing something?

The first few chapters for free download are excellent btw, and i wish id read those before starting Advent of Code this year…

Similar issue for me too @akoutmos — just went to buy the book and encountered a 404 at https://elixirpatterns.dev/products/elixir-patterns-book-and-livebooks?promo=21JE3HG7FD linked from the home page.

Let’s give it a try! Let me know when I can test an epub build :slight_smile:

Congrats on the 1.0 Release! Buyer since the first release, great book that fills the gap of merging some Erlang/Beam knowledge with Elixir.

Thanks for ePUB version btw! I have one request tho, is it possible to include the graphic cover on the ePub version?

Right it shows like this:

Thanks for the feedback. :slight_smile:

EPUB generation turned out to be the trickiest part of building the book - there were so many edge cases to handle. We knew the cover isn’t showing up right now, and decided to move forward without it. At this moment, we have no plans to add the cover image inside the EPUB, unfortunately.

I ended up editing it in Calibre to add the cover. It works fine now without breaking my OCD. Thanks for the great book, again. :slight_smile:

Now it shows up fine in my Elixir collection. :smiley:

PS - 5% read is misleading as I had already read the PDF version.

Beautiful!

I’ll see if I can automate that in our release build script.

Big update today! For those interested in a physical copy of the book, Hugo and I went through the effort of formatting the book so that the contents look great even in printed form!

You can pick up your copy on Amazon.

Enjoy!

The ePUB works like a charm for me!
