Just put in on my wishlist with the boss...

I am sure that this book contains lots of valuable information and will be very useful, but the $90 price tag is just too high. Books just aren't this expensive unless they are some leather bound special edition and with the rate Experience Builder is changing this book will quickly fall out of date.

I was very pleased to see the announcement of an eBook, but it is the same price. How can you justify this when you don't have to pay printing costs?

It is in ESRI's best interest to teach their users how to use Experience Builder and putting this resource behind such a high paywall is ridiculous. Please find a way to reduce the cost at least for the eBook.

The Kindle edition is cheaper than the paperback (although it looks like the price jumped since I looked at it yesterday. Stupid Amazon.)

$90 for a tech book is pretty much on par with some of the other tech books out there. With three authors and as much information as this contains, I would say it's worth it. I have "Designing Map Interfaces" and it has changed the way I've been creating maps and apps. Even though the technology has involved.

I would think that getting this knowledge all in one place at one time would be beneficial even if workflows change over time. This would give you the foundational knowledge that you can build on as technology evolves.
