Hey guys
What would we have to do, or what would be necessary, to get the MECP Advanced book made into an ebook? Preferably a good, universal format like EPUB?
Doing this would allow ease and convenience of reading when you can't lug around an 850+ page book that isn't lightweight, but having your smart phone or tablet available still allows convenient reading when extra time is there.
And even more importantly, because of the excellent content in the book but the sheer amount of it being so memory intensive, this would allow the entire book to be "searchable" for topics for quick reference when time is of an essence.
Please only serious replies, not any posts claiming this is not needed or necessary. Thanks guys!

Scan it and convert to pdf or similar.
But for indexing you really need the raw document to be converted.
Surely a softcopy is available from somewhere?

I wish I had time to scan my copy and make available to everyone as I'm requesting but unfortunately I simply don't have that much available time.
I'm sure there is a soft copy with the publisher and with MECP for editing and such. I wonder if it would be possible to contact them to make it available electronically. To my knowledge after extensive searching there is no electronic version available now so it would be entirely up to them to release it I'm guessing.
Anyone know who and how to contact about this?

My apologies - I keep thinking of MECP as a certain computer qualification. (Same for HVAC - I keep thinking that's the AC version of HVDC - High Voltage DC/AC!)
Hence my "Surely a softcopy is available..." comment.
I did see one MECP site but posts seemed to be 10 years old, plus they had some strange comments - viz: peak power seems to be becoming 2x Watts (ie "RMS power") (D'oh!), and peak power is ~1.4 x RMS power (no it isn't - it is double, but that's generally a pointless term/definition). And that was in a thread akin to "does power need definition"... [ No it doesn't - there is only one power - namely Watts. Terms like Watts RMS are misnomers and expressions like Continuous (Audio or Average) Power are garbage. But Watts RMS mighty be used to ensure Watts does not an arbitrary marketing or other bullsh value. ]
But the only softdocs I found were course syllabi.
