Since getting my iPad in April, I’ve become a fan of eBooks. I took advantage of some coupon codes on O’Reilly last month and purchased electronic copies of many of my books. Here is a list of what I currently have on my iPad:
ePub format
- Agile Web Development with Rails 4th Edition
- Rails Recipes
- Pro Git
- Hackers
- AppleScript The Definitive Guide 2nd Edition
- Natural Language Processing with Python
- Learning Python 4th Edition
- Linux in a Nutshell 6th Edition
- Mac OS X Snow Leopard (The Missing Manual)
- Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS and Javascript
- iPhone App Development (The Missing Manual)
- jQuery Novice to Ninja
PDF’s
I love the fact that I can carry around these technical books all the time and be able to look something up so quickly just by doing a search inside of the iBooks app. My only complaint with the iBooks app is that I have to add my books through iTunes. Would be nice if iBooks supported DropBox.
