Book Publishers

Around yesterday I decided to email all the some of the publishers of my computer books to see what I could do to get an electronic copy of them. So far, the only thing I’ve gotten back was a vacation auto response, but it’s only been a day or two. Normally I like having a book, but sometimes it’s hard to hold a book in one hand and type with the other. Or if I go on vacation or somewhere else it would be nice to be able to take some books with me without having all the extra weight to carry around.

Have you had any experiences asking this from a book publisher before? I’d love to hear what kind of response you got back.
