We only update the newer-style ones, I'm afraid. We could always do some more if there was enough demand, but they only seem to appeal to a limited number of subscribers, most prefer to use the Guides in PGN form.

Making the RHS annotation part of the game much wider seems to solve this. Still, the drawback is that it takes up quite a bit of screen space.

I've just noticed what looks a like a bug! If there are moves after the link, and an annotation before the next move, the annotation looks like a link too! Also, if the previous link is on two lines sometimes the bit on the 2nd line doesn't work.

I don't normally use CB12 as I prefer working in CB10, but just opened a Playable ChessPublishing.com eBook in CB12 by chance, and was surprised to see that the game links look like HTML links now, and are clickable (before you had to press Enter or Ctrl + Enter).
A big improvement! When did ChessBase change these?

All Ruslan's material is available in PGN format, remember you can download the ChessPub Guides.
The QGD pdf eBook is already much too big, we would need to divide it up to make some playable eBooks.

Sorry, now I have finally understood what you mean. Well, I like any playable format, new and old, for CB, even though of course the new is much better. I prefer going over the games in CB, rather than via a PDF-file. Therefore, I'd love to see as many playable ebooks as possible. I could even help converting old ones to new. E.g. the Symmetrical English, since I am currently looking at those lines anyway.

We are only updating the newer style ones, as stated several times before, with a couple of exceptions. There are currently about 30 that are updated regularly, but I am happy to do some more if there is any demand - I can update the Spanish, say?

Yes, I think ChessBase are making it more difficult to find, but it is still on the dropdown menu.

Well, please help me out then...

Here's the Chessbase download page, where I can download Chessbase Reader: 
http://www.chessbase.com/download/index.asp

There's a link there to Chessbase Light Tutorials, but not to Chessbase Light download! Now, let's say I look at the tutorial from 2007. There's an old link there to download CB Light, but what happens is that it redirects you to the CB 11 download page...

This has been discussed before on the forum, in the General Chess section I think...

Edit: Hmm, I then found out that download via the dropdown menu actually does seem to work
