Quinn books in digital format

Post by _iamse7en »

So, I'm a huge fan of Quinn's books/articles. Very honest (in both the miraculous and the human elements) and scholarly approach to LDS history/doctrine. I try to collect all of his best articles and books because I find myself referencing back to them ALL THE TIME. I have bought hard copies of Magic World View, Origins, and Extensions. I also bought Signature Books' New Mormon Studies CD, which amazingly has PDF/digital format of Magic World View and Origins (and thousands of others - a must-buy for anyone interested in LDS studies). I use them all the time for remembering/looking up certain topics. I do the same with his [in]famous articles, which are widely available across the net.

Sadly, however, I do not have a digital version of Extensions of Power. Does anyone have a copy or know where I can get (or purchase) a copy? I would be so grateful as it's just another resource I would kill (Laban-style) to have in digital format, because it's so much easier to reference back to. Thanks!

I have searched high and low and don't believe "Extensions" has made it into digital format. Maybe Devery will get to it one of these days?

I have been reading a book in digital format, and the footnotes are at the end of each chapter. It makes it difficult to connect footnote to text. I just got the same book in paper, and the footnotes are at the bottom of each page. :biggrin: Much easier.

Signature usually (always?) has end-notes (usually half the book :biggrin: ) Do their electronic books also have an endnote rather than footnote format? Or do they have endnotes in a separate file?

Which is the way God wants it.

Death to the Endnote!

Somehow the PDF format for ereaders needs improvement but it needs to adjust to a reader's font selection. Academic works in a kindle are hopeless. I hate relying on them for my publications.
