Hi,

Ada distilled 2012 is on Amazon :
https://www.amazon.com/Ada-Distilled-ISO-2012-Standard-ebook/dp/B09C42PCMQ

I have no problem buying it but I don't want a kiddle format.
Anyone knows of a pdf format somewhere ?

Nicolas

AFAIK, it is only available for Kindle. You could try contacting Riehle directly.

There is nothing wrong with MOBI or, maybe, you mean AZW?

Anyway, you can install Calibre. It has an integrated format conversion
tool and plug-ins to remove DRM (e.g. by conversion AZW to MOBI). Unless
you blindly trust Amazon services... otherwise archive and backup your
library.

I have 2 e-mail addresses for him. I wouldn't want to post them publicly here.
Is your posting address valid?

I try to avoid Amazon as much as possible. The Kindle ecosystem is terrible.

If there is a simpler solution, I get it ;)

You need to manage the library anyway regardless where you get the
e-books. Calibre does pretty much everything one needs.

As I don't own a e-book device, I never tried Calibre.

Earlier today I was in contact with Richard. I mentioned your request,
and gave him your e-mail address. Feel free to contact me, if Richard
would not write to you shortly.

Thanks a lot Dirk.

I'd also be interested in a pdf or epub. I don't mind paying for the
file, but I don't use a Kindle and don't want to buy a download from
Amazon. It's not high priority for me so I'll just watch here in case
of updates.

I bought the book "Ada Distilled: ISO 2012 standard". Unfortunately, the editing of the version I received from Amazon is terrible, in many places the editing completely falls apart. (I don't have a Kindle reader, I use the PC version.)
Richard Riehle on LinkedIn wrote that if someone asks for an updated version of the book in pdf format, he will send it to them via private message.
Unfortunately, I cannot contact him on LinkedIn, so I would like to ask for his help.
Many thanks!
