United replaces 38 lbs of pilot p-books with 1.5 lbs of e-books

This is cool. But it doesn't tell us whether they are ePub or Mobi.

Quote:
United Continental Holdings said today that it will convert to "paperless flight decks" for pilots.

United and Continental pilots will all get iPads. And gone will be paper flight manuals and paper aeronautical navigational charts.

Distributon of 11,000 iPads started this month and should be finished by the end of the year.

Each iPad will replace about 38 pounds of paper operating manuals, navigation charts, reference books, flight checklists, logbooks and weather information that are typically in a pilot's flight bag.
