First off whats an e-book, 2ndly there are 1/2 dozen so called Pals experts out there, that I know of, they would just love to get their grubby hands on all that work for nowt, and then claim they did it.
I have considered one alternative but its expensive, & long winded, printing one copy on a special paper, if some one tries to photocopy it or scan it, it turns black, trouble is its 100 quid a ream.
One of the main things which aggravate me is most people never realise how much it has cost in time and money, just so they can view the information with little effort on their part.
Bill & I spent 100's of hour travelling round, collecting names from Rolls of Honour, & War Memorials, travelling down to the Public Record Office in London for a week a a time, travelling to Preston to their Record Office & Fulwood Barracks, into Yorkshire viewing newspapers & memorials for the 78 Yorkshire men who were transferred into the 11th in May 1916, computers & their maintainance isn't free either.
I'm supposed to give it away for free, I should coco, I'll wipe the bluudy discs first.
Retlaw.
