<br>Seconded. I'd be much more interested in an electronic version
<br>than in a dead tree one.

<p><br>he he "a dead tree version"... never heard that before... I like
it...
<p>Besides sparing (a few )trees, a downloadable electronic version would
<br>also save gas on transportation and therefore avoid some global warming
<br>(if that makes any sense to US citizens whose successive governments
keep
<br>ignoring the Kyoto protocol)...
<br>since SDIY is an international list, orders might come from worldwide,
<br>and that makes sense...
<br>and again, think about the time saved on packing, queueing at the post
<br>office... especially if you're not planing to make any benefit on this
<br>activity...
<p>You might need to invest in some Adobe software to copy-protect your
pdf
<br>files, but you can easily recover that expense by raising the price
of each
<br>book by $0.50 or $1.00 (depending on how many copies you're planing
to
<br>sell). Anyway, that will remain much cheaper for buyers than adding
postal
<br>fees... for instance I recently ordered H. Chamberlain's book from
BrightBoy
<br>and it (almost) killed me to have to add $20 (45% of the book price)
for
<br>shipping...
<p>I guess Electronotes could also benefit from an electronic version...
<br>AFAIK there are online solutions for splitting money between sellers...
so may
<br>be Electronotes could be sold on the same website...
