Didn't read through the whole thread, so forgive me if it's already been mentioned...
I just bought a softcover 2011 NEC at my local Platt Electric branch and there was an offer for a free download of the PDF version. I went to the site and signed away my identity and all that, and downloaded the PDF. As in, it's on my hard drive. I have the regular ol' free version of Adobe Reader and it's searchable, copy and pasteable, and everything.
How much do you guys pay (on average) for a softbound NEC? Mine was $47, and included the PDF download.
See? Copy and paste! Tangentially, I wonder if wood tree trunk power poles are all in violation of this code section.

I think my $47 price was because of a promotional sale or something they had going on. I jumped on it because I didn't know when the price would get back up to normal. Plus I wanted the free PDF offer.
Good deal:grin:
Thanks for the link:grin:

At the bottom of the page it lists the NEC CD-ROM for $107. I thought I read on another post that Chris Kennedy downloaded the PDF version from NFPA for around 80 bucks. The CD does not say how many computers you can upload to. I have been told the CD's in the past allowed you 3 uploads.

I checked and its not listed at NFPA site or in their weekly catalog.
The old Cd's had a 2 count limit and after playing around it would appear the same is true of the 2011 pdf.
