I do not offer my books or courses on Amazon, primarily because:
- Amazon takes over 50% of the sale price of self-published books (which would put me out of business).
- Amazon does not offer any control of the shopping cart experience.
- Amazon’s on-demand program to print and ship self-published author’s book is unreliable and deliveries sometimes never arrive
- Amazon does not notify me of your email address, ensuring I can deliver your free updates to the books/courses as new editions are released.
- Amazon does not provide me with any contact information so I would be unable to followup with you if you had any questions
- Amazon does not allow me to deliver my books in PDF format which is what most PyImageSearch readers prefer
I hope you understand my reasoning — it’s my goal to ensure you not only obtain the computer vision and deep learning knowledge you are seeking, but also have a great customer experience as well.
