RtK Vol 2 pdf version

#1
I would like to purchase RtK Vol 2 and was wondering if there is a pdf version. I find it so much easier seeing it up on the screen than in a book. Managed to get RtK Vol 1 that way and am hoping to do the same for Vol 2. Don't mind paying for it just want the pdf version. Anyone out there got any suggestions?

Of course PDF versions exist, but I think it´s not good for anyone or the site to give you a link for that, just google it, because that PDF are just ilegal versions, if your question is about a official RTK PDF version, that does not exist, I think.

You can get a sample, if that helps at all. http://nirc.nanzan-u.ac.jp/en/files/2012...Sample.pdf.

So the official RTK iOS app has all three volumes (and multiple editions too!). I find myself referencing that, for volume 1, more than the book/PDF at this stage, since it deconstructs to primitives more sanely than the book, and I don't care about his silly stories anyway.

I put some screenshots of it in volume 2 mode here:

Row 1, column 1: the main screen
Row 1, column 2: the main Volume II screen
Row 1, columns 3 and 4: the top and bottom of the first chapter ("The Kana and Their Kanji")
Row 2, columns 1-2: chapter 4, in reading and keyword modes.
Row 2, columns 3-4: showing the built-in flashcard tool. It's a little annoying that the flashcard doesn't, by default, have the reading, but maybe it's customizable.

White Rabbit, a one time (and current?) site sponsor sell CD versions of at least one of the books.....Checking Yep right here in my hand is RTK3 on CD.

Unfortunately it is not fully fucntional: it is not searchable since the Kanji Characters are in the PDF as pictures, not text.

...Wow that RTK app looks great. I want, I want (but for Chinese, not Japanese)

Can you expand on that?
