- Removed the unrelated Turkish menu from the English pages

- Improved the ebook formats

- Removed the download page and linked the ebook versions directly from the main page instead

I consider these beta quality:

(I am not sure why, but you may have to refresh the page in your browser.)

I know that the format needs further improvements but please let me know if there are serious issues like some text not showing up at all. (Preferably, respond in this thread to avoid duplicate reports.)

nice work. thanks! :)

i've got a suggestion. right now when i check the english page, i see a blank space on the left which is caused by the width of the div#content. [0]

if you can change width in styling of div#content it'll look better: [1] [2]

I was hoping that no one would notice. :p

The design of the whole site is less than ideal. :-/

I've done the easiest thing and introduced an English menu in that space:

Thanks for making these available, just been reading some of the web chapters and learned from them.

Do you take donations for the electronic versions, as I have no interest in print?  I'd like to send you a piece of bitcoin if you have a bitcoin address.

The idea is that both the ebook and the print versions will be purchasable once the formal editing, cover design, and forewords are finalized.

Thank you very much but let's wait for the final proper ebook. :)
