    Why don't they ever have electronic coin books that I want? It was my birthday, and recently recieved an electronic reader. I go to the website, hoping to pick up Photograde or a Lincoln Cent resource/reference material to put on the pad and come to find out, they don't even have it available for electronic reading! Yes, I can contact the publisher and request digital copy, but I seriously doubt they will electronically scan and organize all the pages of one book just to have one customer buy it. Sigh...ok. My whining is over and thanks for sympathizing. I just got frustrated knowing Redbook was available for electronic buying but not some other popular resources. Time to go do something productive.

    Meanwhile, 15 million people die of hunger every year. Sorry they don't make a photograde reference book for your iPad. :(

    Along with what protovdo said, there is also a free photograde app.

    Oh, come on. If that's the new standard of importance for making comments here, I expect this to become a very quiet forum indeed.

    To address the OP's original point, I can imagine that viewing Photograde or any other photo-heavy reference on something like the Kindle might be a bit disappointing. Even if your device is full-color or full-greyscale, like an iPad, you might be disappointed -- electronic publications frequently come with low-resolution photographs, so when you zoom in to see details, you see only blurs. Keeping all images in high resolution leads to a very large document, and most e-book distribution networks probably find that the load on their distribution network is out of proportion to their cut of the price.
