With just a mere 45 days until my lab exam, I am happy to announce that the third volume in the Routing and Switching series; VPNs and NAT for Cisco Networks, has been published to the Kindle store today.
Getting the Kindle formatting has been much easier this time around, as I have used Kindle Textbook Creator, taking the printed version's PDF file, and converting straight from that.
The end result is that it looks the same as the print version
This volume starts off with basic GRE tunnels, and build them into an IPSec-secured, optimized and tuned DMVPN network. We also look at "standard" site to site VPNs, before moving onto NAT, and IPv6 transition mechanisms.
I have kept the cost the same as the other volumes, and as usual, it's closely aligned with the CCIE Routing and Switching v5 syllabus. That said, I hope that it is accessible to readers of any level.I am currently working on volume 4 (Multicast and QoS), and looking at volume 5 (Services). Volume 5 will, most likely, be the end of this series. I could go further, such as IPv6 and the IGPs, but to be honest I don't see that happening at the moment, as after volumes 4 and 5 I have another two books in mind, which are not (directly) related to the Routing and Switching track. This is, of course, unless anyone has any excellent ideas for more books, then I am all ears!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

ReplyThanks Bernd, I hope you enjoy it!
Replyis there available a pdf version ?
ReplyPDF won't be an option as it is too easily shared. It's in kindle and paperback only at the moment.
Replyif i bought the paperback is it possible to receive the pdf version ?
ReplyNo. There will not be a PDF version. PDFs are far too easily shared. I have priced it deliberately low so that people buy it, instead of pirating it through the sharing of PDFs.
ReplyEven if I were to look at something like LockLizard to protect them, I dont actually make enough to cover the costs of the LockLizard protection.
So, no. There won't be a PDF version.
If you buy the print version, you do, however, get a discount on the Kindle version.
Hi Stuart
ReplyI am have problems getting your 3rd book on my kindle's I have the kindle DX. i am getting message like not supported on this device. Also tried it on the Kindle HD and same results. Can you allow support for the wide range on kindle please. (i.e. same support like book 1 and 2 )
Hi, I'll see what I can do about this. I used the Kindle textbook creator, so the formatting is all retained, looks like it only works for the KIndle Fires though.
ReplyI'll see if I can convert it and republish on Kindle.
Splendid Stuart I am looking forward to really reading this. please make it soon
