If the PDFs are acceptable, the RTEMS Foundation could self-pub them on
Amazon and that would give them ISBN numbers. I looked into doing this
a while back. At that point, I recall the biggest hurdle was having a front
and back cover. The set of template covers may have changed and OAR
now has a graphics artist on staff. Worth evaluating again.

With the RTEMS Foundation a legal entity now, that would give it a
theoretical (small) source of revenue. That's better than one of us doing
it as
an individual.

The hard copy price would be based on the number of pages. The Kindle
version should be much cheaper.

How does this sound as a plan?

We also need bibtex entries. :)
