EBooks (or lack thereof)

I work at Amazon, you know, the biggest bookstore and all that.We make what I consider to be the best damn e-reader presently made: the Kindle. No, I had them well before I worked there -- good is good regardless. (We also make some crap, but hey, no one bats 1.000)I while ago I purchased an expensive book. It's kind of like a textbook... The Art of Electronics. When I acquired it the book was just north of $100. It's a fabulous book and I'm learning more than I could possibly imagine. (I also feel rather dumb reading it at times...)So here I have this book. It's expensive, but almost more importantly it's big and heavy. Very heavy.If I could buy it again I would happily buy an electronic version of it -- in addition to the one I already have -- just so I can read it on the road.But alas...No can do.Rights.:-/There's some irony that "The Art of Electronics" isn't available electronically.
