Thanks to Steve, Nikolas, Chris and Dave for their thoughtful and helpful replies. As there are a few digital field guides out there now, there will probably be more in due course. I figure if the music industry can cope with survival in the era of internet and computer piracy, then the book publishing industry might do so also.

I note that some come in the form of a database which can be interrogated. That's fine on the one hand, but I think I, personally, would prefer to buy a more straightforward format (similar to an online computer manual in .pdf format) so you can browse it.

Many thanks fellas,

Jill

Apart from the long-available Simpson & Day field guide for Australian birds, is there any movement in the world to make field guides available on CD or DVD?
