Get Out While You Can

[diablo]

@ Lee - If you're looking for a "guru", I'm not your man. But as Domainseller200 said, I've done the whole beach thing.

@ domainnameseller200 - I'm currently back in Scotland for family reasons, but will hopefully be back in the sun in the not too distant future. It's actually worked out quite well because distributing a book from Spain would have been too much like hard work!

@ monaghan - totally agree.

@ disruptive - a man after my own heart, fantastic post.

Are you going to publish on the kindle or similar?

Are you going to publish on the kindle or similar?

Yes, definitely, but not until next May.

Do you have a Kindle and if so do you prefer reading on it to paper books?

 

[jimm]

Yes, definitely, but not until next May.

Then I shall buy in May!

Do you have a Kindle and if so do you prefer reading on it to paper books?

I have an iPad and yes prefer to read on that as its with me 99% of the time so its the convenience factor. I dont tend to make time to read, i end up with a gap between jobs so take 5 mins break to do something else.

I have a Kindle, I prefer using it just for convenience, but I have been known to order the dead tree format after reading something on the Kindle if it was really good. I'm currently reading a management book on the Kindle, I'm really enjoying it, so plan to buy a proper copy to pass round some of the folk I manage.

 

[diablo]

It will definitely be available in Kindle format come May 2011 and I'll be looking into making it available for iPads too.

.pdf file format for the book?

 

[springer]

The problem with .pdf files is that they almost always get circulated on the Internet for free with free file sharing websites such as RapidShare.

I haven't got a Kindle, so not sure if it is as easy or possible to download their ebooks for free illegally?

Looks like a valuable book to read, will pre order a copy now

All too often people, myself included, get so bogged down with 'work' it also becomes their job, and lose sight of why they started in the first place, whether it's to retire young and rich, or enough to pay the mortgage every month.. This book looks like it will really put things back into perspective and renew that sense of motivation for the stuff that really matters

If that was a negative to doing it, theres nothing stopping people scanning printed publications and passing it on that way.

The upside to a .pdf publication is low cost, less impact on the environment and ease of buying/selling.

But its a lot more work than just uploading a PDF...

Apparently, there's a free app so that you can read Kindle e-books on an iPad and there are other free apps for other devices.

Sorry about this wizard.

There is no delay in supply and I haven't notified them of any delays.

Amazon are simply not ordering enough books to cope with demand and it's something I'm trying to sort as I write.
