Summary: Book is great - e-book is a hassle
Comment: We are in the middle of a project that uses H.323. Everyone in the group likes the book. We bought a couple of hardcopies.

I decided to try the electronic version, mainly because I could immediately have access to it. It was a mistake.

First, it required me to update my Acrobat Reader to 6.0 (AR6). Then, to read the book I had to register/activate AR6. Two problems right here: as far as I could tell, you can only register AR6 if you have a .Net Passport. If you don't, tough luck. Go to MSN and get one. I happen to have one (from my Hotmail account), so I thought "no big deal." It turned out to be a big deal. After you enter your Passport login/account, it asks for more personal information (name, email, etc.). I don't like to give out this information unless I have to. Reading a book is not a good reason IMHO.

After all that I decided to cancel the AR6 registration and to return the book. You cannot return the e-book (or I could not find a way to return it). I'm sure Amazon states that clearly, but I probably missed it in my rush to get the copy.

I would gladly recommend the hardcopy, but go for the e-book only if you don't mind all the hoops.

Summary: Much Needed
Comment: This is a treasure of H.323, VOIP information! Excellent protocol information. This is no paper weight, gathering dust! I use the book and I'm glad to have it on my shelf.

Summary: Best H.323 book on the market
Comment: This is by far the most comprehensive book on the market. I agree with the previous review, IP Telephony with H.323 is for advanced uses and a great reference guide as well. I highly recommend it if you want a thorough understand H.323 and IP Telephony, however, if you wish to learn about a particular subject, for example QoS or MPLS, this book will not provide enough detailed information (check out Cisco Press).

Must buy!
