My wife and I moved this month, and my new "office" won't hold all the floor to ceiling bookcases and the two lateral files I was using. I already figured I could put stuff out in the garage "man cave" with my reloading operation, but I would like to move my reference material from paper and books to electronic media. My plan is to use DVDs for some things and a new iPad for some other things. I have already replaced my Rifle and Handloader collections with the Wolfe DVDs, and my Gun Digests with their DVD. I already learned you want to negotiate if possible for such.  Anybody else gone down this path? If so, what is working for you? Anybody make use of google's book scans? thanks...jim

Worth a bump to the top. I'm curious what answers might get posted.

I tried the non-paper thing -- but a stack of old DVDs in the outhouse just didn't work out.

I have downloaded many of the Google books. I had much of them in hard copy but there are some MAGIC books loaded on Google books. As with everything free, there is a problem. The young people scanning the books have no interest in them; books with fold out charts are scanned with the charts folded. In some cases this is just aggravating but in other cases, where math is involved the lack of the chart is a problem. Apparently, no one is following up on the scanners.
