Some German publishers such as Cornlesen and Hueber releases their products as pdf and
sell apps (mostly a flashcard program or a bilingual audiobook with transcripts). These digital products allow the learner to use an iphone or ipad to learn while they are travelling. As you know, it can be very difficult to hold a thick book and keep changing the track on your audio device while travelling in a crowded bus or metro. I plan to use Assimil while I am travelling. Does anyone know whether Assimil releases their methods in digital format such as e-book in pdf format or apps for iphones? Thank you for your help! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Unfortunately you can only get either books with CDs or their e-learning subscription
service but that won't be of much use to you and is available for only a limited amount of languages. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If you have the hard copy of the text you wish to study, then perhaps you could scan the pages and then use this digital file (pdf, word, etc.) for your on-the-road studyiing. And then you'll have the audio in mp3 format. You can then use both these text and audio files simultaneously on your iPod, iPad, laptop, or whatever you'll be travelling with. Good luck...

The books aren't that big, they could easily fit in your pocket.

I am wearing a business suit, not those clothes with big and deep pockets which allow workers to place their tools in. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I actually find the Assimil books the best to carry around, if not in your pocket, then in your suitcase. I especially love the older Sans Peine, almost hardbound series, which survive well years of extensive use and abuse and all weather conditions. I am more skeptical of these newest, cheaper looking books. In my language studies Assimil has been the course I have been carrying around the most. No way I'd use Assimil with my Kindle.

I have converted all my Assimil audio from records, cassettes and CDs to mp3 files to play on my mp3 player.
I have photocopied some of my courses to enough pages for a week's study to carry with me. I think the Assimil books would be easier to carry than the larger photocopies. I generally take copies with me when I am travelling so if I lose them I still have the originals. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You can get free software to convert your scans to epub or mobi files which I believe can be read on Kindle. I have a cheap scanner which scans to pdf files as an option.
