Thanks for the info. It would be sad if there isn't going to be an ebook version. As I have told you in private, using the iPad on my desk as a reference book (instead of a pile of printed books) is pretty awesome. I have successfully converted my whole technical library of 30+ books to their digital versions, and my library includes the FPC documentation of course. Now I'm never without a book. The iPad screen size is also perfect for reading A4 (or A5) PDF books (without requiring zoom and scrolling). Just some of the eBook advantages: - All books can be loaded on one single device. - eBooks never go out of print - Saves (physical) space - on the bookshelf or on my desk. - eBooks are searchable - Cheaper to produce (no printing involved) - Good for the environment (no chopping down of trees) - Books stay in perfect condition, even after long usage - Quicker to purchase (no shipping required). Here in SA, books take 4-6 weeks for delivery when they come from the USA, UK or Europe. - Revised/Corrected versions are instantly available, and without having old stock lying around.
