       | what they need right now and bought a copy!

       | I saw 'data books' and thought of studying EE many years ago.
       | Data books were things you got from semiconductor manufacturers
       | detailing their electronic components. Those old data books were
       | like gold then, but I pitched them all at some point years ago as
       | I don't do that work and most of the part are now obsolete.

       | Would love to read it! Please consider selling epub and/or pdf.
       | Happy to pay for the non-DRM premium.

         | Ditto. A non-Amazon option would also be great.

           | According to the Wiley website:
           | 
           | "E-books offered from Wiley.com are delivered on the
           | VitalSource platform. To download and read them, users must
           | install the VitalSource Bookshelf Software."
           | 
           | So no epub, you have to read it through some other third-
           | party software.
