I'm one of those poor, unemployed young people for whom the $1 price point was perfect. It's the "What the Hell" price point. The benefit of having it on my Kindle and not having to switch windows all the time is real, but rather small. Perhaps worth $2.99... but certainly not $5.
It's worth more now that I've started getting to know the book of course. I've been reading a lot of programming books for a few months and these examples are substantially superior to anything else I've seen, except for Why's Poignant Guide.
Non-DX Kindle side-tip: Convert .epub to .mobi in calibre with "Text Justification > Linearize Table" checked.
If you don't do this, trying to navigate around the tables on a small screen will drive you batty.
(Still trying to figure out the regex to get rid all the "orphaned" line numbers created by this method.)
