Has anyone found some good ebook versions of field guides? I'd like to take a well-stocked Android tablet on my nature walks. Carrying around a hardcopy library is not to be done (my lower back would object) and I'm hoping for something better than just an awkward scan by some publisher of their paper version.

Specific regions of interest: northeastern US through the western Great Lakes states. More specific regional guides within this general area would be welcome.

- birds
- insects and arachnids
- wildflowers
- fungi
- trees
- herbaceous plants
- mammals
- reptiles/amphibians
- any other!

I'm especially interested in the bird 'n bug guides. If any enthusiast has some recommendations I'd be very grateful.
