I'm surprised Chris hasn't posted this already, but Lybrary.com has released the first two volumes of Card College as PDFs that include embedded videos of Roberto demonstrating what's being taught. (The videos do not currently work on the iPad but Chris is looking into possible solutions.) The two volumes are available for $80 at Lybrary.com or you can purchase individual chapters for $6 each.
If you already purchased the HTML version of these volumes from Chris, the PDFs are available to download from your Lybrary.com account for free. Craig

I just picked these up. They're fantastic with the embedded video's to go along with the text.
I believe these just came out in PDF form according to the email I just received from Chris.

Not as PDFs...they were previously available as HTML. Here's Chris' email announcement from a few days ago:
Quote: Roberto Giobbi's famous "Card College" ebook series (volumes 1 and 2) have now been converted to PDF. All those who purchased the earlier HTML version directly from me (Lybrary.com) have access to the new PDF edition through the digital shelf (second link under 'My Orders' section in your Lybrary account.) All others please check it out here http://www.lybrary.com/card-college-1-2-p-817.html (Soon one will be able to purchase individual chapters, too.)

Just to confirm, these Card College PDFs are brand new. Card College was never before released as PDF ebook only HTML. Completely redesigned by Kris Sheppard. A few errors were corrected along the way, too. Both volumes taken together we have almost 200 embedded video clips. If I may say so myself probably the best magic ebooks on the market today.

Make sure to use a PDF viewing app that can handle embedded videos. On iPad we tested PDF-Expert and on Android ezPDF. That was a few years ago. Today I would assume many more apps can handle videos.

I bought this as a kind of experiment as I generally prefer hardcover books. But I am extremely happy with my purchase of this multimedia version of Card College. As someone who likes learning from text, it has text and illustrations, giving you the breakdown of moves and how to execute the routine. The icing on the cake is the embedded video clips, which show how the broken down moves come together. Wonderful.
