Introducing the LearnSCADA Book Store and Membership
Every LearnSCADA title in one place, sold direct as a PDF with a free sample edition, an Amazon link on every book, and two membership plans that cut the price of everything on the shelf.
The Store
In the past the only way to buy a LearnSCADA book was Amazon. That has not changed. All thirty-five published titles are on Amazon in paperback and Kindle, and every book page in the store links straight to its Amazon listing. What is new is a store of our own at books.learnscada.com, where the whole library sits on one shelf and the PDF edition is sold direct.
Here is how it works.
| Item | How it works |
|---|---|
| Catalog | Every published LearnSCADA title, organized by topic: PLC programming, Ignition and SCADA, HMI design, industrial networking, MQTT and Sparkplug B, Python and Jython, process fundamentals, certification guides, and the plant books. |
| Format | PDF, the same interior as the print book, downsized for screen reading and fast download. |
| Price | The PDF costs the same as the Kindle edition on Amazon. Members pay less on every title. |
| Samples | Every title has a free sample edition: the original pages through the end of Chapter 2, then a contents page so you know what the rest covers. |
| Amazon | Still on every book page for paperback and Kindle. Nothing was pulled. |
| Checkout | Stripe. Sales tax is calculated automatically. Your purchases sit on your account page, ready to download again whenever you need them. |
| Print direct | Coming next. Selected titles will print and ship straight from the store at member pricing. |
The Membership
Membership is optional. Anyone can buy a PDF as a guest at full price. But if you read more than one LearnSCADA book a year, the membership is where the store starts to pay you back.
- 10% off every PDF
- Free sample chapters on every title
- Selected full titles free
- Your library saved to your account
- 40% off every PDF
- A rotating shelf of full titles free each month
- Member pricing on direct print when it launches
- Everything in Free Reader
Free Reader
Join with your email and set a password. That is the whole process. The 10% discount applies at checkout on every PDF from then on, and a handful of full titles are free to download just for being a member. There is no card on file and nothing to cancel.
Pro Library
Pro Library takes 40% off every PDF in the catalog, and each month a different shelf of full titles is free to Pro members. The annual plan is $79. The lifetime plan is $199, paid once, and covers every title published from now on at the same discount. Two or three certification guides at 40% off cover the annual plan. The lifetime plan is for the people who already own a stack of LearnSCADA books and would like to stop paying full price for the next stack.
One book a year: buy as a guest or join Free Reader for the discount. A few books a year: Pro Library annual. Building a working library: Pro Library lifetime.
What Is Coming to the Store
- Courses. The LearnSCADA courses are moving onto books.learnscada.com with video lessons, quizzes, and progress tracking on the same account you use for books. Getting Started with Ignition is first.
- Direct print. Paperbacks printed and shipped from the store at member pricing.
- Bundles. Topic sets (the PLC shelf, the Ignition shelf, the networking shelf) at a single price.
- New titles every month. Members get the discount on every one of them the day it lands.
