I did indeed find the LRM e-book and this is why I've been asking for the 2012 AARM (I'll add 2A's to avoid confusion).  I'm interested in the annotated version in e-book format.  I want to try to read it as I've been facing a few issues, miscomprehension, etc. in the hope to understand better some 'particularities' and things like the Rosen trick and others.

I've tried to generate the RTF from the sources but somehow I only generated the 95 version, not the 2012.  The generation tools aren't very user friendly and the doc very brief.  I understand it is used only by a few.

I do agree with another post about the price of Programming in Ada 2012.  However the Kindle format is reasonably priced, but then I don't have a Kindle.
