Whether your holiday reading over the next few weeks trends more toward figuring out how to buy or set up a new digital TV, learning a few new technology terms, or playing the latest hot Windows game on your Mac via Boot Camp, we have a freshly updated ebook for you. Even better, all of these updates are free to existing owners of the most recent version. Happy holidays!

• "Take Control of Running Windows on a Mac": Hot off the virtual press, this ebook - now at version 2.6 - is once again updated to cover the latest technology and advice for making Windows run smoothly on your Intel-based Macintosh. This version looks at running Boot Camp under Leopard, what to do if you were previously running Boot Camp under Tiger (or still are), and the latest versions of the frequently updated Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion. Kudos to author Joe Kissell for keeping this title fresh! $10, 151 pages.
• "Take Control: The Mac OS X Lexicon": Although this title doesn't include "w00t," Merriam-Webster's word of the year for 2007, it does include over 500 terms that we at TidBITS Publishing think you should know in order to get the most out of your Mac. Written by Andy Baird and by Sharon Zardetto of Mac Bible fame, the revised title (now at version 1.5) has 30 new entries for Leopard, along with lots of helpful tips for Leopard as well as for older versions of Mac OS X. This unusual book stands out from the pack with its enjoyable and helpful prose, and it makes a great holiday gift. $15, 209 pages.
• "Take Control of Digital TV": If you're shopping for a new HD television, you definitely want this ebook, now at version 2.1.

You'll get a printable shopping checklist, ideas for where to shop, suggestions for how to find HD content once you have your TV, and coverage of some popular options for peripherals to attach to the TV.
