I suspect that SFPE, being a small organization, doesn't want the potential of loosing intellectual property by selling it as electronic media. It's not available in such a form on their website.
The positive part for you as an owner is that your dominant hand and arm get a great workout moving the book from the shelf to the desk and back to the shelf.
That is what I was wondering about the SFPE. I didn't see it on their site, but didn't know if other outlets sold the version in PDF.
Matt: That is quite funny. I do get odd looks when I show up to some meetings with people the first time. They don't expect a "body builder" to show up to the meetings. :^)
which is a book scanning service, they'll destroy the hard copy, and send you the PDF
You can run OCR in acrobat, so that it's fully searchable text. You can also add a Table of Contents quickly using regular expressions, or do it by hand. I did this for several books that aren't sold as PDFs, it works.
