I normally just purchase my favorite PERL book,Camel, Ram, Etc... and then find a text copy of it on the net somewhere. And convert this to a PDB(DOC). Now I can view the whole book (searchable) with any number of FREE apps, on my palm pilot. Great for those long train/plane rides.
Of course if you use a text book from the net without purchasing it, you should FRY in the depths of Hell for all eternity. If you want a FREE book, go to the library.

I don't think purchasing the hardcopy of a book gives you the right to download the byte version from some w*rez site... but that's just my $.02 :)

Beanik:
++ just for saying something that may not be popular.
But, I have a question for you. If I purchase the book, do you consider it fair use for me to scan it in, OCR it, convert the resultant text into whatever format I want, and use it that way (for personal use, that is)?
In other terms, can I scan in Mastering Regular Expressions, convert it to a PalmOS byte-readable format, put it on my Palm, and reference/read it? Is that different than downloading it from some w*rez site? Is it different because I, the purchaser of the book, am personally doing it and using it to my own accord?
