John,

G'Day John

Good to hear one of your books is on the way.

PDF has the advantage of being copy protectable although copy protection can
be broken if you try hard enough. HTML because its designed to be copied can
be more useful for spreading ideas, but is more easily abused, its also
quicker to download.

Electronic versions of a book need a well thought out search facility to
compete with the ease of indexing in a book. This is particularly important
for PDF formats where decent search engines are often not available.

I'ld be interested in buying the book, especially if its in electronic form.

All the best, PeterO
