Je ne comprends pas pourquoi lors de l’achat on oblige les gens à ouvrir un compte paypal contre leur volonté?
Bien de choses à vous
Hi!
I do not understand why when buying it compel people to open PayPal against their will ?
Good things to you
You do not have to create a Paypal account. You can pay by credit card in most countries. For instructions see
https://pennypress.co.uk/how-to-pay-for-purchase-using-a-credit-card/
Has Paypal changed the procedures for paying with CC?
The “pay with CC” REQUIRES that you create (or login with) a paypal account.
The images shown on https://pennypress.co.uk/how-to-pay-for-purchase-using-a-credit-card/ are different from what I get and it is mandatory that a paypal account be created to complete the transaction.
The original complaint by Diarra seems to be correct, since that is my experience as well.
It turns out that the pages you see can vary by country and also can change if you have used Guest Checkout several times before. In addition the pages you see have changed since we wrote the original instructions so I have updated them. But I cannot guarantee you will see the same in every country and on every occasion. In case of difficulty you could try buying our products from Amazon.
Only problem with that is that the free updates don’t apply to the Amazon purchased books?
A suggestion: Look at what O’reilly does and do a $5 updatable ebook purchase for printed book owners. (Although without solving the paypal payment problem with credit cards not sure how I can complete a transaction – maybe have an alternate payment processor?)
If you buy the B4A ebook from Amazon you will automatically receive free updates if you follow the procedure explained in https://pennypress.co.uk/automatic-kindle-update/
Why is the checkout page (the one you enter the payment method/billing address) apparently unsecured? Why no SSL encryption?

Hi Kevin,
That’s a very good question. Following your question we changed the page so we now embed the SSL secured page https://pennypress.ecwid.com/ into this page using an iframe. So your transactions are now guaranteed to be to totally secure.
I checked out Amazon but there are TWO books with similar names:
B4A: Ultra-fast Android App Development using BASIC Hardcover – December 1, 2015
Hardcover: 620 pages
Publisher: Penny Press Ltd (December 1, 2015)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1871281326
ISBN-13: 978-1871281323
B4A: Rapid Android App Development using BASIC Paperback – July 27, 2015
Paperback: 634 pages
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform; 1 edition (July 27, 2015)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1512296252
ISBN-13: 978-1512296259
Which one is the updated book for B4A v6.50? To add confusion I’m not sure if the dates/pages on amazon might be wrong, since the v6.50 B4A book is Jan2017, right?
Not sure why the hardcover book has fewer pages yet a more recent published date? (unless the size is different)
The paperback book “B4A: Rapid Android App Development using BASIC” is always updated to include the latest version (despite the old date, which is when the book was first published not the latest edition date). It currently covers B4A v6.50.
The hardback book is now out of date.
You can also access the store at https://pennypress.ecwid.com/ which is SSL secured. I will also check the security of the plugin. Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your perseverance!
