Brad's launching his new book soon, and I've suggested he should consider doing it as an e-book instead of, or as well as, the hard copy version.
What do you think???
E-book only (instant download, cheaper than the hardcopy I expect)
Hardcopy only (available from all good bookshops and Amazon I'm sure!)
Both ('ave your cake 'n eat it!)

You haven't put beg, borrow, steal, barter, win in a competition or get one ordered in the library. |

when i read you were doing a book, i thought.. here we go.... another crappy "get rich, motivational piece of tosh" (yer, i try to be honest!)
And although i haven't read it... THAT cover is brilliant! it already makes me want to pick it up and have a gander...
it may be crap, it may be brilliant! but dam it looks good and by that point people have paid for it ;)
Who designed the cover? etc? |

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid.

Never been a big e-book reader; they're fine if you're doing sample chapters, or it they're short reports - but for full-on books I always prefer something I can pick up and read.
That said, if you're prepping it for print, it should take very little extra work to create a downloadable version - sell it for less through the 4N site (since you already have a captive audience - and you'll likely make a bigger margin due to having next to no distribution costs |

Its not about the money Mike. Honest its not, its about the exposure and move towards mainstreaming the way we do things. That can only be accomplished with hardcopies in my view. The fact that its being printed and published, means its a serious contender.
Anyone who can print a PDF can knock out an ebook.
This book torpedo's the whole cufflink, up arse mentality that existed before this ordanance hits.. Its disruptive to everything the cufflink battalion stand for. |

Ah yeah, totally get that - printed hardcopies give it the legitimacy it needs and deserves; just thought it'd be worth considering both - not just because it adds another distribution channel, but also because it'd be in sync of the forward-thinking-ness of 4N. |
