If you have seen it, how would you rate the quality of the illustrations?
I haven't bought the book yet, but people seem pleased. One reviewer stated, "abridged, but the Rackham illustrations make up for that". Even so, I think I'd prefer the 'real' version over the electronic version.

Not sure with this particular book. My eReader came pre-loaded with a couple of illustrated books, but the layout is meant for the text and illustration to be on the same page. I think I can toggle between pages and have 2 screens open at once, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
I don't think eReaders are going to replace owning a really beautifully illustrated book, but I think it's cool that I could have a book I plan to read more than once both at home and with me wherever I go. I'll probably end up buying both versions.
