True, but the Morcombe app is, I think, half the price, has more in it than a paper field guide, and so far the updates have been free. I don’t know how much it costs to distribute an app via Apple, etc, but there’s no shop front paying rent, no transport costs, no printing costs. The electronic version of a typical novel is usually a lot less than the printed version. Perhaps the Morcombe app is under priced, I don’t know.

You get so much more than a book field guide with updates provided. To update a book you need to wait until a new version is produced and then pay at least the same as your original purchase price. For me, the convenience of having multiple guides available on a lightweight device and updated regularly at no further cost, is more than worth the initial outlay. > > Arthur Carew > =============================== > > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, > send the message: > unsubscribe > (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) > to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au > > http://birding-aus.org > =============================== =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au http://birding-aus.org ===============================
