I love the Jupyter-/Colab-approach and would like to join the journey... and support the project by buying the book (although I don´t need it to follow the Colab?). But without subscribing to the OReilly-learning platform it seems that buying it on amazon is the only option, right ?

It's a pre-order even on Amazon. The publication date for the book isn't until later in the year (at least for the edition available in the UK, which will probably be the same):

https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Think-Python-by-Al...

(Blackwells think September, incidentally, whereas WHS think the end of July)

Amazon just list books way, way earlier in pre-order than a lot of places.

Green Tea Press (by Prof. Downey) has a donate button. That's probably a more efficient means of supporting the project than buying the book, considering all the middlemen.

Oh my ..., was skipping too fast through the page and didn´t see this, and also didn´t realize what he exactly is doing with his Textbook Manifesto etc. Ok, the Paypal-Link is a no-brainer for me now. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
