    From DrPi@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 31 16:13:40 2023
    Hi,

    Ada distilled 2012 is on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/Ada-Distilled-ISO-2012-Standard-ebook/dp/B09C42PCMQ

    I have no problem buying it but I don't want a kiddle format.
    Anyone knows of a pdf format somewhere ?

    Nicolas

    AFAIK, it is only available for Kindle. You could try contacting Riehle directly.

    There is nothing wrong with MOBI or, maybe, you mean AZW?

    Anyway, you can install Calibre. It has an integrated format conversion
    tool and plug-ins to remove DRM (e.g. by conversion AZW to MOBI). Unless
    you blindly trust Amazon services... otherwise archive and backup your
    library.

    You need to manage the library anyway regardless where you get the
    e-books. Calibre does pretty much everything one needs.

    I try to avoid Amazon as much as possible. The Kindle ecosystem is terrible.

    As I don't own a e-book device, I never tried Calibre.

    Anyone knows of a pdf format somewhere ?

    AFAIK, it is only available for Kindle. You could try contacting
    Riehle directly.

    I'd also be interested in a pdf or epub. I don't mind paying for the
    file, but I don't use a Kindle and don't want to buy a download from
    Amazon. It's not high priority for me so I'll just watch here in case
    of updates.
