eBook version of "The Language of Organic Chemistry, A Guide to Organic Chemistry Mechanisms" is available.

An ebook version of "The Language of Organic Chemistry" is available.

**edit**

The ebook version is available until June 1 and at no cost. I am also going to put up Chapter 8 as a demo chapter with all of the parts. Donations will be gladly accepted.

I have been working hard at updating a number of aspects of "The Language of Organic Chemistry". One objective was to again sell an ebook version of it. I searched for various methods that would allow good access and little maintenance. The use of the Adobe Document Center was problematic with the setting up individual accounts, providing access, verifying, client logging in, and problems with the process. Furthermore, it wasn't within the Adobe terms and conditions.

I am experimenting with another option. A number of people are visiting my site, looking at the mechanisms that are available, but not making a purchase. I am going to provide a short term access with a very low cost. This can be renewed or an outright semester long access purchased at a still modest $9.99. I have compromised on the ebook by eliminating Parts A, B, and C. In the past, few students that purchased an ebook actually printed out any pages. I have concluded they are more interested in the completed mechanisms than the process of learning the mechanisms that the complete book provides. This also makes the ebook more streamlined. You can open it and scroll from top to bottom or click on the bookmarks to jump from chapter to chapter.

I can see much potential in an ebook version. There are a lot of searchable terms present in the book. I hope to discover a **find** procedure for this (if I can find one). I can also foresee that the ebook format can develop into a virtual lecture on reaction mechanisms. However, those are items still in the future.

This should give greater access to the book. I have retained the pre-bonds that make the mechanisms unambiguous. If you find that you wish to upgrade, I will credit any prior payments to the full semester version or a print version of the book. I would encourage anyone wishing to learn the mechanisms to purchase the printed version and work your way though the mechanisms.
