You do have a point, but remember: 1600 pages is 1600 pages, no matter whether you, or somebody else prints them out. That cost would have to be translated out somewhere. For instance, I have an old copy of Linux Programming (2nd edition) that at the time was priced at $40. I'd think reprinting all of those pages would cost a little more. And you also have to ask if there is an audience for that in the first place. I do understand wanting to have a printed manual. In as good as ebooks are, sometimes they don't compete with having the printed version in front of you, so you are not constantly switching between screens. What I would suggest is, rather than hoping somebody has the bankroll for one LARGE document, somebody might take a close look at a PostgreSQL Documentation Project to break down those 1600 pages into three or four "manuals" that would be more reasonable to print one at a time. -- The NCP Revue -- http://www.ncprevue.com/blog ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
