It sucks that so many of those books are not available in ebook format, I would have thought programmers would be leading the way in ebook adoption.

I own Code Complete, and have for a year or two now yet I've not even got 1/4 of the way through it. I enjoy the book but I can't take it out of the house because it's too big, and I can't lie down and read it, because it's too unwieldy.

Awesome! Can't believe I didn't see that earlier, I did Google it a number of times but from memory all I got was torrent spam.

Thanks heaps!
