PMBOK Guide options

I would like to have either a printed PMBOK Guide or a PDF version that I would be able to annotate. This could be just technical ignorance on my part, but the download version from the PMI site is password protected, I can't search for specific words or make annotations or even save it locally to my device. I am open to buying a paper copy of the guide and on the PMI site, it states that there is a 50% discount, but then that the sites they list, they won't recognize the discount? https://www.pmi.org/pmbok-guide-standards/foundational/pmbok
Does anyone know how to order the guides with the discount?

Silly me - I just found the PMI bookstore, but don't see the 6th edition listed

Linda -

as far as I know, PMI's bookstore doesn't sell paper copies of the Sixth Edition any more. You might be able to get one from third party booksellers like Amazon but they wouldn't honor PMI's discount.

Thanks, Kiron, I thought that may be the case, and found a used copy for a good price at a used bookstore.

I just checked and tried on my end, you can download the PDF version on your computer and you can search for words on it (Control F) but you can't put notes as it is copy right protected. I usually buy the hard copy and mark it up - I am old school in this department.

The older 6th version of the PMBOK is available on Amazon but it is also available on PMI Store, I found it there. Here is the link:

Hope this helps.
