That looks pretty cool. Obviously these books must be public domain in

The good news is I just purchased a Panasonic "ToughBook" CF-27 on
eSchmay ($100 ! ) for my Westy (and elsewhere ETKA, OBD stuff) so I'm
sure being able to download eBooks onto it will be a useful bonus for
those really rainy days at the campground.
