From my diary
On Monday I must go back to work, so blogging will certainly take a back seat while I get established in a new job.
I have spent much of today converting a large 600+ page book into a PDF, so that I can search it, quote from it, and work with it more conveniently. It was a long task!
I wish that academic publishers did what Amazon do with music CDs. If you buy a music CD from Amazon, Amazon make an electronic version of the tracks available to you, in MP3 format. So you can download the album to your iPhone, as well as having the hard copy. Why can’t publishers provide PDFs on a similar system?
