Yes, a PDF file. I wonder why they don't publish it as a PDF? Those are not nice on eReaders, but they are fine on tablets and smartphones (well, a phone is kind of iffy). I've read here on Mobileread that most consumers do their reading on tablets and phones anyway. So that begs the question, why not a PDF version of the book? That would be extremely cheap to publish. A few scans of the physical book, some editing and cleanup in Gimp or PhotoShop, stitch all the individual scans together into a single file with a program like "pdfunite", ... and you're done. No real editing required. I would pay to buy that if it were published.
