[sdiy] From Bernie of Electronotes

[Barry Klein]

I have been buying ebooks from Oreilly when they have half off sales. I have a bunch. But I haven't read them. The ENs though I've read and reread several times. If you are a synth diy'r - make your own stuff - it is money well spent. Heck some of you are spending that much or more on just one module for your system.
It is not easy at all to make EN's into an ebook. OCR sucks, stuff doesn't result in the same pages, and schematics get scrambled. I tried it with my book and it is like writing a new book. My book is 300 pages and I still haven't done it as it just is more work than I want to take on. Now that the custom chips are coming back I'm more motivated though. It is feasible to put these into pdf's, which I have for my books, but the files are large and they don't convert to ebook formats well.
