I've already got the first six in html or pdf. I never bothered to make ebooks because I just print out a relevant section as necessary.

The main drawback with some e-needlework texts is that the relevant illustrations are several pages away from the instructions. (This is true of, say Beeton's book of Needlework and Therese de Dillmont's wonderful Encyclopedia of Needlework. The Christie text that you mention also does this, somewhat.) This means that constant flipping is necessary.
Also, I tend to print out patterns because I mark them, either to show when I've done a row, or to underline a stitch combination which has to be repeated.

But I may be untypical.
