James,
     Where do you live? Outside the US? You can ship books in the US for=20
about $1 per pound after you pay the initial $5. Actually I learn a lot=20
by reading. I'm leaning towards the BBLeo because it is setup to support=20
the cpNode controllers. The other choice at this moment is the Leonardo=20
board. I thought these boards are using the Atmel mega processors. I=20
haven't bought an Arduino as of yet. I'm also kind of thinking about=20
getting just the processor and building my own board. Lots of decisions=20
to make. Yes, things do change but I still believe that the books stay=20
relevant.
Thanks,
rich!
