No the book "Getting the Most out of RootsMagic 6" is more conversational and easier to read.
With version changes becoming more frequent can you express the company position on whether it will ever be available as an eBook?
I ask as I have only ever bought the book once due to the prohibitive carriage costs to destinations outside the US.

I am slightly disappointed that the Rootsmagician appears to have a low opinion of his flock and I believe they deserve better, without any desire to be disrespectful we are not talking about the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Bible here, which incidentally is available as an ebook. The days of lumping around printed material and paying ever increasing carriage costs to have it transported around the world are long gone, even the technical books I own and live on my bookshelf also live in softcopy on my laptop and tablet for reference when on the move. That doesn't mean that I go offering them to any friend who wants a copy but I do recommend them as a good book to anyone who enquires on the subject.
As stated before I have only bought the book once and that was many years ago, stripping out the hard copy publishing costs and pricing an ebook version appropriately I would likely have bought each release but simply refuse to pay high shipping costs.

To purchase in UK is more expensive than buying directly from US.With version changes becoming more frequent can you express the company position on whether it will ever be available as an eBook?

The only folks I know who use Roots Magic are in this forum. I rarely share my physical location with them, much less my books.
Well said Jack, and probably very true of most of us
