I know that the ebook option was listed for April publication, and that the delay was because the index was going to be incorporated. (The index had to be left out of the hardback edition because the indexer hired by MIT Press reportedly "absconded" without delivering the contracted work). I did approve an index earlier this year, prepared by a replacement indexer, but haven't heard of the ebook edition appearing. I'll follow up with MIT Press and make sure that it hasn't been forgotten about. What I'm actually hoping for is a Kindle edition, as the MIT Press ebooks are reportedly rather idiosyncratic. I can confirm that a Japanese translation will be appearing soon from Kyoritsu Shuppan. Thanks to Haruyuki Kawabe from Nihon Unisys, Ltd and his colleagues for taking the initiative to arrange this -- by the time I heard about it the translation was almost finished. If anyone is interested in translating other languages let me know and I can put you in contact with the appropriate people at MIT Press. While I'm here let me share a write-up of my ENIAC 70th Anniversary talk at Penn earlier this year. It's in The Pennsylvania Gazette, the alumni mag, and also online: http://thepenngazette.com/a-peoples-history-of-eniac/. I gave a similar talk at Maryland, which posted a video and transcript: http://eniacinaction.com/watch-us/. And CHM Chairman Len Shustek had some nice things to say about it during the annual fellowship gala event: http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/2016-chm-fellow-awards/. Finally, I still have some ENIAC Monte Carlo posters left, with free shipping. Preview at http://eniacinaction.com/the-book/eniac-monte-carlo-poster/. Just send me an email if you want one.

But although the price is still listed, the ebook delivery option seems to have vanished again. Does anyone (ahem, Tom) know what happened and if the ebook format will return?
