The latest book edition (4th) is now available for free here:
This is not the final version of the new book application but it is a
major improvement over the old one.
It works on mobiles. Has true multi book, multi version and multi
language support.
I disabled some functions because they are not polished yet but I
should be done very soon.
When done I will open the book for editing so you can fix typos
yourself.
Should also be faster than the previous one.
Please give it a try and report any problems, including css issues.
Do not report typos quite yet. You will be able to fix them yourself.

Very nice. Note, "experts4soluions" should be "experts4solutions" (in the menu and on the login page).
I miss the second level headings in the chapter TOCs -- very helpful for finding topics. Also, not too big a deal, but maybe consider generating the chapter TOCs server side -- there's often quite a lag with the client side JS rendering.

I agree with Anthony on the second level headings in chapter TOCs.
Much easier to look for specific topics!

Will there be an ebook version for purchase. I want to contribute towards the effort, but don't want a physical book. Either that
or a donate button, though I realize that wasn't to lucrative in the past.

I have http://web2py.com/book/ in my bookmarks and get an
"invalid request" now.

It is working for me. Perhaps you should try again.

Is the spanish translation on the roadmap? Latinuxpress has made the
3d edition. I opened a thread in the spanish group asking the same.
How is the translation work being managed?. Is it open to
colaboration? I see that for example the italian has the 3d edition
label and there seems to be just one translator.

Nope, still gone. When I look at the response header I see it's a
404 NOT FOUND.
http://web2py.com/book/ instead of
http://web2py.com/book
See the additional "/", which worked before.

The Latinux press's web2py book spanish version is in rest. Is there
any resource to perform rest to markmin conversion?

Looking good Massimo - thank you so much for making the book available online!
I did come across one bug:
http://web2py.com/books/default/reference/29/ReportLab results in "invalid function (default/reference)"

The book is great, but to my mind there is too big a margin over the
left. This is an issue because it is hard to maximise the font size
and keep everything on the screen. Could the margin not be reduced to
one quarter of its size?
Thanks
