[sdiy] Thomas Henry books available soon

[Eric Brombaugh]

As a potential buyer of these, first off thanks for making this happen. 
PDFs are my preferred electronic format. Dead tree is then my option and 
no concern of yours. Password protection is OK, but I'd rather it was 
unprotected just for the sake of portability. Watermarking or tagging 
the file with my name is perfectly fine.

For generating PDF files, have you considered PS2PDF?

It's free (part of the Ghostscript distribution for Windows) and I have 
found it quite useful.
