I'm a glutton, so thanks for the link! My copy sit's proudly and well used on my "I love me" shelf, but every once in a while I like re-reading some of the old texts, and having it on the iPad makes life much easier.
But you are right, it is heavy reading for a new pilot, so maybe I should have clarified that it's better used for the CPL and ATPL.
