Windows Media Center development hints, tips, tutorials and information

Would people be interested in a book?

I'm working on a Media Center development book - would people be interested in buying a book on how to develop applications in Media Center?

If so, what would be more appealing? A large bound volume, or an inexpensive PDF copy?

I'm sitting on 130 pages at the moment, and I've only just covered where the blog is up to now, so there's a LOT of depth and sample code in the book so far.

Either would be great, if traditional, consider a companion website for example apps and sample code as well as errata.

I'd buy it, either a PDF or a 'real book' would work for me. Please keep it concise though, so many tech books are full of needless waffle

I'd be happy with either, but would probably choose the PDF if both were available.

Anyway, I think a book is a great idea -- a way to get more developers in the community, and for casual programmers like myself who would like to dabble.
