The Origami Forum

any one know where I can buy e-(origami)books? like pdf (origami) books for downloading.

I know that you can get some at: origami-shop.com

but do you know where I can find more?

I think there are some origami books for kindle, nook, and ibooks.

ok thanks I might look into the kindle a bit more!

If you are looking for PDF documents, most of them are illegal downloads, but usable. any legal stuff will specifically be in the E-Book format, which requires applications other than adobe reader to open, like Ibooks, or for an ebook reader. amazon probably have some. Ibooks don't.

I publish lots of origami ebooks through Apple, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon. In my opinion, the best device for viewing origami ebooks is Apple's iPad, second is Barnes and Nobles Nook, then third is Kindle. The iPad is so superior that Origami House has only published one ebook and it is on the iPad. Check out my signature for a link to the ebooks I have published for Montroll, Kirschenbaum and Szinger.

You can check here. Maybe you'll find something of your interest

Finally, one could buy paper books, scan the diagram to your laptop. I believe this would be ethical & legal, so long as you are respectful of the copyright , don't abuse or share the diagram. ie: for your use only ...
