Microsoft Press has made a free ebook available for everybody who is interested in SQL Server 2008 R2. It is an introduction in all new features of SQL 2008 R2.  The book contains 10 chapters and 216 pages:


Part I Database Administration

You can download the ebook in XPS format and in PDF format. This is a good initiative of Microsoft Press. I think all Microsoft Press books should come free available as ebooks. Let see what will happen.
Enjoy reading the topics you like.
