Guys, I feel it would be remiss not to mention that owning the book
(which I do) is one thing, however obtaining an electronic version
from somebody else may indeed break copyright

This is a very good point. One of the mistakes lay people make is to
oversimplify law using "common sense" arguments. When you have worked in
a legal setting you tend to be more cautious.

I think were all agreed on these points, most of those here are of an
age where we have concluded that Law and common-sense have - well
little in common.
Owning a book and making an electronic version for your own use may or
may not be legal but is a lot of hassle and so I would be up for
paying for an E version and you would think authors and parties
concerned would accept another payday.
Does mean someone doing the legwork of course (as usual) some reward
out of the price should find it's way to them also.
All the best - Bill

Hi Bill,
I was going to scan my Quanta reprint, convert it to Kindle format and
use it for my personal use.
I may well be breaking copyright...
