Ah, that explains it. Anyways I contacted InformIT/SafariBooks support, 
and they sorted it out, I now have the final version listed in my 
account, and they said the print book has been ordered. Dunno when it 
will arrive, but it should be too late from now.
(In any case I'm not in any particular hurry to read it, not that I'm 
not interested, its just that I'm quite busy, and particularly I'm still 
in the middle of reading two other books :p ).
