And will come in rather handy when your batteries run down

The WP guides aren't available in digital form, but I sliced the spine off
mine, scanned them into PDF on a big autofeed machine, ran the PDF through
optical character recognition, and downloaded the result into my iphone
where I use Acrobat Reader.  This gives me all three books in searchable
digital form, albeit with a bunch of zooming in and out.

It was a bit of a hassle, but saves the weight.  I did the same with Yogi's
guide and I downloaded the Halfmile maps so I'll have the whole trail in my
phone at all times.  I'll still carry the maps for the current section
because the hard copy is more convenient to read.

Happy hiking,
