It is a good deal even if you own the book, it will be alot easier to carry in an E-reader or laptop, The book is bigger and heavier than any E-reader and most laptops. :wink:

I did get the PDF version, and I loaded it into my iPad. Pretty cool! Now I have the book with me where ever I go.

I would concur with the recommendation on the Carolwood site of the CloudReaders app for the iPad. It handles the large file size better than some of the other apps I tried it with.

Hey Steve D, any thoughts about PDF versions of your books? 8)

Funny you should mention...

"Welcome Aboard" needs much updating, but it's definitely an option we've talked about.
