My Indomitus rulebook picked a fight with a can of Coke - and didn’t win, so I figured I might see if the full rulebook was up on iOS...

Can’t find it... I found Indomitus by Gav Thorpe though...

Was it originally on iOS and taken down, or has GW simply decided to not go with iBooks for future releases?

It looks like they’re just not doing iBooks this time, which kinda sucks.

We are having a major discussion about this. Games Workshop won't be releasing Digital copies of the codices, as confirmed on their facebook page. Rules will be available on the 40k App, but background/lore won't be available digitally.

A very dumb decision, and you're accident is one example of why Digital copies are necessary.

More than Kinda. Not being able to computer search the book is a real pain in the rear end, especially if you know what you're looking for not where they put it this time.

Digital copies of the books would compete with the app, presumably.
