Guide / Tutorial Elite: Dangerous Quick Start Guide

I think you may be alone in your expectation that the quick start guide shouldn't be available to all.

I'm not saying that the quick start guide shouldn't be available to all. What I am saying is that if its the exact same guide that's included in the upgraded boxed edition then I think its unfair to have charged some people money when they've then made it freely downloadable to the whole community. If the guide in the box is more extensive then its ok to have charged people for this. Unfortunately I have a feeling that the guide in the box is exactly the same one that's now become free to download.
 
A nice surprise for me was to see the full manual available. And very good it is too.

Is there any chance you (devs) can publish it in ebook format ?
 
Quick Guide in PDF format seems very nice. But only in English ? Other languages to come ? And later a big full and detailed user guide translated into several languages ?
 
Lovely to have a manual. I love reading them, normally it's bathroom material..anyway, found a couple of niggles, most have already been pointed out.

Pg 23 - Supercruise
Point 2 + 3 are identical.
 
If e-book format isn't possible, would it then be possible to supply a PDF version with separate pages?
In its current incarnation, it is impossible to print it double sided.
(Well, it is possible, of course, but not without mixing up the order of the pages.)
 
Lots of helpful guides and overviews are springing up for this game. Nice to see a helpful and enthusiastic community.

I'm coming from a background of many hours thrown into Eve Online uh... 'trading' and PVP ;)

Hi Commanders,

The links in this post need updating, the http://www.elitedangerous.com/guide/ goes to a 404 page at the moment and the http://hosting.zaonce.net/elite/website/assets/ELITE-DANGEROUS-MANUAL.pdf link needs updating to point at the updated manual: https://d1wv0x2frmpnh.cloudfront.net/elite/website/assets/English-PlayersGuidev1.04-INTERACTIVE.pdf
 
Quick-start guide could stand to be updated to current version of Elite: Dangerous, but I noticed looking through it that it doesn't mention the ETA element on the target marker anywhere (at least, not anywhere obvious). Seems a pretty important piece of information...?
