PDF version of dictionary?

The problem is that I can put a PDF version on my Kindle DX and carry  
it anywhere at very little cost in terms of weight. This is not true  
of the hardcopy version.  I find there are times when I need to have a  
reference book open while programming because trying to read through  
online dox just doesn't do the trick.

 >>>I don't see a pdf offered anywhere.

I didn't either but I hoped I was wrong. Looks like maybe not. :-(
