Anyone forked out for Digital Wiring Regs?

[Snapester]

Hi guys, just wondered if any of you guys have forked out for the IET wiring regs package in digital?
Currently sick of lugging a couple of trees around in my van would love to compress all that onto an iPad or something, have any of you done this yet?

Cheers
Ian

I assume that its Wiring Regulations Digital - IET Electrical this one you're after?

You might like to try here

IET Forums - VitalSource ebooks

before you buy, since there still appears to be a few restrictions and teething problems.

But I suspect this is the way to go for the future.

Yeas, I have.

Have them on lappy.

 

[hasel5]

[Snapester]

Did you fork out the £420 for the industrial or just the domestic? Also do you just get the updates automatically?

 

[DurhamSparky]

[sedgy34]

Send them over then

Yes i do lol.
At least with a book you dont lose it with any "hardware failures"
plus you can sell them on at a later date if the need arises.

Yeah but it would save me alot of room in the van, i think i could get another box of gear in there without those books!!

How many bloody boks to you carry ?
Surely onsite guide is all you need to carry with you , anything more complicated i wait till im at home to check up.

 

[Snapester]

Well i carry a few more GN's and that and design books. Its good to have them close by when needed.

Are they in PDF format? Is the OSG included?

I bought the industrial package when it was on offer , it's worth it , with the licence yo can install it on two mobile devices I.e I pad and two laptops or desk tops, I would say that it is easier to read them on a iPad than it is on a laptop though but you can copy and past parts etc


Speak to Liz Liz Wooderson at the IET she is very helpful she will give you a free trial fully opertaive trial for I think it was 30 days

Yes the updates are free

They did have an offer on in march not sure if it still going but I got domestic books for £97 incl VAT including updates

Call the IET up and they will send you a 30 day trial - I had it - really helpful.

With these books they are stored on the server and downloaded to your computer so even if you get a hardware failure you wont lose them.

Also try emailing Wooderson,Elizabeth [email protected]

She is the one that hands out the licences and activates everything - she also gave me a 40 day trial - very helpful

The excuse I used on myself was, I need to order some products of the web whilst on a job, if I were to order in the evening I will miss out on next day delivery!
