Was there any mention that you heard of that will give us an idea of what type of format, and if it would be possibly be available digitally? It doesn't appear to be that large of a book, and would like to see it available digitally to read...
Thanks,

Looking foward to this one.
Not interested in the digital nonsense.

why is it necessary to speak so negatively about digital books? I like to read...but don't have space for a lot of books anymore...SO...what...I'm not supposed to read anymore??

Mike, it has to do with general appreciation of digital media. The point with a physical book is that if someone has seen a text worthy of physical presentation, it must be worth at least something. On the other hand, by releasing something in digital format one admits it is not worthy of physical presentation, therefore its value is lesser or non-existent. For example, I would never pay a dime for anything that is in digital-only format. Never. I want something tangible for my money.

I know that...I would to. Its just that I prefer to read things this way now...I have read many things that were great and were made available digitally as well. it just gives more options for everyone. that's all...just don't see the need to bash it, as its STILL READING....and would rather have something as apposed to nothing...thanks for the reply...
