Wiring Regs - Digital Package?

[egghead]

Hi!

I'm needing new copies of BYB / OSG / GN3. Was thinking of trying the digital package.

Has anyone tried or using either of the digital versions? How do they compare to the real thing?

Electrical Standards Plus or Vitalsource Bookshelf

Any info / advice greatly appreciated!

I don't think I'd like the digital version. I like putting tabs and writing in mine!

your best bet get your O/S/ BYB GN3 books now then having digital version .
because you can flick through book but you can not do that with a digital version ..

I couldn't take the digital version in the bath to read while I soak.....

I can and do take the digital version wherever I go. I like it. It is searchable. For £260 a year I get all the GN 1-8 OSG BYB ISITEE design book LED code of practice (really useful. Personally I think it is great ESplus I use. I can add users to it such as people who work with me and train. It gets updated automagically, whats not to like? Try buying those books and keep them updated at a lesser cost.

If you buy off the right sellers, you should be fit to pick up those 3 new on eBay for about £75 delivered or less, I got a used GN3 for £3.49 delivered, a used BYB for £10.50 plus £3.50 p&p and a OSG for £19.50 delivered.

As others have said, you can add your own notes to it and any other info you think helps you.

You can get a digital version??? I need this, assumedly I can find regs I never knew existed by using search words? MisterE, get yourself a Kindle and keep your grip tight!

Missed your post Vortigen, sounds great but currently working out whether £260 per year is worth it
