I know this mate
I have a 2TB hdd filled with everything you can think of generally from B*tM* (ALL tutorials and ebooks) and have probably 1000+ books on programming....I just check what I want to buy and see if it looks like I can wrap my head around it, but honestly the reviews are more important. I'm looking at a bunch of jargon when I open the PDF, i don't know what it means and how well it teaches. But thanks for the suggestion, I rarely buy books but when I do I DEFINITELY get a PDF first. I kinda hate PDF's in general even with split screen

About the IDA pro book . its more like a reference style . Definitely worth buying . it doesnt teach you much new things if you are already using IDA but solves a lot of problem and gives you a lot of tricks
Goodluck

Ah I see...The reviews seemed really good for introductory users, it sounds like someone who is intermediate with C++ and a basic assembly of assmebly can start from the beginning and not be swamped with information they don't understand. Is this not true; it's more like a reference guide like the 1000+ page C++ 11 reference books?
either way I am not worried; I just need some way to learn IDA. That is not a priority now though.
