Raison d'être for writing a book

Besides being asked by the publisher an author requires a reason to write a book. My raison d'etre being to make it as simple (not simpler!) as possible so that the reader does not have to go through hoops, and jump over lots of hyperlinks to do what he set out to do. In both of my books this is all that I tried to achieve.















This post on MSDN's blog site gives me the feeling that I have achieved this at least for one user. Thank you Buck.
