I agree...
I've just ordered the paper copy but would love to have it on my iPad as well to read through it when I'm away from home my regular trips together with other useful e-books.

+1 ebook / .pdf
I also just ordered a copy (thanks for going to the effort to write this book). I would have loved the option for a digital copy as well. Perhaps a .pdf for use on an iPad or Android Nexus 9? I completely agree with your assertion that a paper copy for reference whilst working on the aircraft is excellent. I find I don't carry paper anything on overseas flights and would have loved the opportunity for an 'instant' download for my upcoming flight.
Thanks again,
Jeff

Paper is heavy and a lot of us travel for work. I find I'm constantly looking into manuals here and there to bone up on stuff, as well as carrying around my magazine subscriptions and books that I'm always reading, compliments of Apple. Plus if I'm on the road with the RV and I have any kind of problem, I have every manual for every piece of gear in the airplane from spinner to tail wheel to reference. Marc your book would be a nice addition.

Thanks for the feedback so far!
I'll look into an ebook as time allows. As you can imagine, this is a side project and family, work, etc. have to come first.
Please post any questions or corrections to the book here on VAF so everyone can benefit. Thanks!

eBook version
If you go the eBook route, try to avoid PDF. Hard to look at on a tablet. MOBI is the BEST format, and if you wrote it in Word, Word Perfect or any common word processor, it is easy to translate to MOBI. See
Smashwords
For more info. They have an easy converter too.

Ordered!
Ordered my copy yesterday. Still a long way from staring to worry about wiring but this is the type of info that might take a while to wrap my head around so when I am ready I have a good idea of what I need/want.
Thanks, Marc

Review anyone?
Would love to see some unbiased critiques of the book-particularly if it covers new ground.
And I agree with all of the eBook votes. I have nearly reference I use for the airplane on my iPad.

Also I would like an e-copy for when I am way out back, no comms, and need some electrical advice.
