I definitely prefer print, but I realize that Sonar's new approach probably makes that impractical.

Thanks for the opinions, guys! I appreciate it.
 
A few things I like about eBooks over print...
* you only have to purchase one copy, but you can put it on all of your devices including Android, iOS, PC, Mac, etc.
* the eBook has the ability to be searched. No more hunting around in an index. Just type in a keyword or search phrase and find what you need.
* the size of the type can be adjusted to your liking. So if you have trouble seeing small print, no problem. With the eBook, just resize the text.
* links included in the eBook can be clicked to automatically launch a web browser. No more typing http://www...

+1 ebook.  
 
Losing the tactile touchiness and the casual pleasure of flipping though the pages of an actual book is a bummer. But the convenience of Kindle access on rack computer, laptop, or iPad makes it worthwhile. 
 
Thanks Scott.

I'll bet this informal survey would have been different just a few years ago. eBooks are really taking off. In 2011 sales were about 2.1 billion US dollars. This year it is expected to hit 6.7 Billion, just 4 years later.

I'd rather have a hard copy but the pace of change is so rapid that we are making them a waste of resources.

Another advantage of printing your own is that you can put things in a binder and only replace pages that change.
You can also just print what you find useful.
 
I've never touched an e-book, so I'm presuming you can print them out.

Thanks for the additional opinions, guys!
 
Just to clarify, you don't need an eBook reader (like the Amazon Kindle) to actually read eBooks. Amazon provides free reader apps (programs) that can run on just about any device. So you can read an eBook on your PC, Mac, Android device, iOS device, etc.
 
Just in case anyone didn't know...
 
Thanks!

Scott, I like your idea of doing an ebook update just for the new features. I really think that this is a good way to proceed in the future.
 
Until a major redesign of the interface would require a whole new way of approaching tasks in Sonar then a major revision/edition would be useful.
 
Also, I think this gives Scott a the ability to perhaps go further in depth on a topic (hint, hint) that might have been tough to add to a complete guide (from A-Z as it were) and still be able to have it in a paper version that a publisher would indeed publish.
 
I think many of us would be up for paying for a few smaller but in more depth ebooks on specific topics for a reasonable price. Instead of taxing Scott in trying to build it from the ground up and play catch up. Users could pick and choose the things they would want to focus on.
 
I do not know if Scott is bound by any contract that might not allow alternatives such as this...
 
 
Just some thoughts.

Scott, was X3 Power ever made available as an e-book in the UK?

I picked up Scott`s X3 ebook 2 evenings ago. It was my 1st Kindle book.
Even though you cannot print, it`s now on my tablet, 3 phones, 2 PCs and I can access
a Kindle player anywhere. Still, I wish I could print out my favorite sections. No big deal though.
I am anxious for the updated Platinum stuff.
(there is an app to print, I did not want to install it, 3rd party apps stuff)
Thanks Scott, love your books--
