I tried to find this book in electronic format . This book isn't translated to Polish yet so I'll have to use dictionary to read in english and electronic format is most useful to this . Is it possible to buy this book in this format ?
By the way there are only few titles of OSC books that are available as ebooks and I don't understand why? [Confused]
I read ebooks on my pda so I had searched mobipocket and fictionwise pages.
regards

I doubt that Robota will every be in electronic format because it is so much an art book.

I have found some ebooks which contained pictures and drawings (recently I read Timeline by Michael Crichton)so I think it's not a problem .

Most ebooks with pictures have small ones at the top of the chapter. Robota has gorgeous full-page illustrations with OSC's text along the sides. It might work, poorly, as a PDF or CBR, but since ebooks aren't being marketed in those formats I think you'll have to get the actual book.

(And I say this as Hatrack's most devoted ebook reader...)

Better to read in english without any dictionary- you can get the meaning out of the context. Thats how I learned this barbaric language [Razz]

I have PDF ebooks, and a PDF-to-Palm-PDF converter.

But yeah, not a common format for ebooks.
