Rails - Sep 2005 - PDF subscriptions (was Rails books)

A suggestion.

I''m about to buy the PDF (since I just noticed at the back of
my hardcopy that I get a discount - thanks guys!).

Does it get updated at all?
I can see errata on the book homepage and wondered if the PDF includes
the corrections.

I see from the FAQ that I can make a backup copy, so I''m assuming I
download
it once and that''s the end of it.

If so, then could I suggest that we could be sold a
''subscription'' to the pdf,
so we could download it if we ever lost it, and any errata would be
corrected as they
came in. (You could even update it to track API changes).
(Obviously you keep the ''personalized copy'' concept).

I for one would happily pay close to hardcopy prices for this, if it
meant the book
was a bit more ''future proof''.

You get to download any new versions of this edition of the book. For  
example, folks who bought a first printing can currently download the  
second printing version for free. Just go to http:// 
books.pragprog.com/titles/rails/reorder
