Since getting my iPad in April, I’ve become a fan of eBooks.  I took advantage of some coupon codes on O’Reilly last month and purchased electronic copies of many of my books.  Here is a list of what I currently have on my iPad:

ePub format

• Agile Web Development with Rails 4th Edition
• Rails Recipes
• Pro Git
• Hackers
• AppleScript The Definitive Guide 2nd Edition
• Natural Language Processing with Python
• Learning Python 4th Edition
• Linux in a Nutshell 6th Edition
• Mac OS X Snow Leopard (The Missing Manual)
• Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS and Javascript
• iPhone App Development (The Missing Manual)
• jQuery Novice to Ninja

PDF’s

• Django Documentation Version 1.2
• Canon EOS 7D Manual

I love the fact that I can carry around these technical books all the time and be able to look something up so quickly just by doing a search inside of the iBooks app.  My only complaint with the iBooks app is that I have to add my books through iTunes.  Would be nice if iBooks supported DropBox.
