So I was just checking current prices on the latest Spink book and noticed that it's now available as an ebook. I'm on the fence about getting it in this format, there's something about flipping through a book to find what I'm looking for that I really enjoy. On the other hand, since it's a annual book and I have a couple of past ones and will likely get another hard copy one in a few years (no point in getting one every year I think)I think whats the big deal with trying it out on digital. And of course it's cheaper $18.55CDN, vs almost $50 for the hard copy.
Anyways, so my question is: Has anyone picked this up already and what are your thoughts on it in it's digital format?
thanks
Rest in Peace

If you have recent hard copies and intend to buy others in the future having one on kindle might be convenient. Your kindle probably goes with you where a hard copy is probably left at home.

I bought the ebook. I do like that it will be accessible whenever/wherever I want and that it was less than half the price of a physical copy. It will definitely serve it's purpose. That being said, as I used it to look up some coins last night I found I was not quite as efficient finding them as I would have been with the hard copy. Maybe just a learning curve.
Seems to be lots of adverts too. Not sure if there's that many in the book but there are a bunch (some full page some part page) in the ebook. Didn't really like that.
