Well, I suppose Hell has finally frozen over.
I have always been vocally against a digital version of my book. The idea of people reading it on an iPad or other tablet kind of makes my skin crawl. However, folks have made it clear they would rather steal an illegal bootleg of my book rather than pay for an actual hardcover on the aftermarket. And while I don't make any money from either of those sources, I always hoped people would enjoy the material as it was intended: A tactile, full-color, oversized hardcover beast.
I recently learned that illegal copies of my book have been downloaded over 14,000 times… and that's just from one bit torrent site alone. While we can't do anything to stop thieves, we can at least offer a LEGAL VERSION, generated from my original source files. Here's the info from my publisher, for those interested in purchasing a legitimate digital copy of the book:
For those who have been turned off by the after-market prices the book typically realizes, I hope this comes as good news. I'll be curious to hear what folks think of the digital version of this book, as viewed on a tablet or other device.
