First: does license CC-BY-3.0 allow me to download this book for free, make any changes to format or content of the book, including downloading to my Kindle? Amazon sells O'reilly version for kindle for 15.49$, and i can't find 'mobi' version at any legal sources, so is it ok if i make one myself? And if i will, is it ok to share it with everyone? Secondly, as i understand, there is no problems with translating the book to any language and then sharing it for free with everyone?

why not? The license permits you to do what you want with it, as long as you attribute the original author.

I was expecting that, but wasn't completely sure about it. Thanks.
