Commodore: The Amiga Years by Brian Bagnall

Looking forward to when this comes out on either the itunes bookstore or Google store.  I find dead tree format books to be a hideous waste of natural resources.

The first C= of his book came out not too long ago in iTunes and is a terrific read.

Think of all the carbon being burned to keep your eBook reading devices powered up.  Over your entire lifetime that would be a far worse waste of natural resources than chopping a tree down to print a book that will also last a lifetime.  Tree's are a renewable resource after all.

Bullshyte.  As I have said before, electricity comes from unicorn farts.

I love it when Americans do sarcasm properly.

Cheers.  Funny how quickly this thread spiraled out of control, huh? :afro:

That's the Amiga.org tradition!

Fair enough.  I've never been a book collector is all, and have vision issues and most print books the typeface simply isn't large enough for me to read.

Ebooks are a godsend to me, as is Audible.

I read PDF's converted to Kindle format on my phone and my Kindle Touch all the time but when it comes to buying stuff I want a physical product in my hand especially when it comes to books.

I've only ever bought one eBook and I regret it because I don't feel like I got my money's worth. Lol

Like you say though ebooks are fantastic for people with poor vision.

I too have it pre-ordered on Amazon and they have not changed their status of it.  Variant Press's site also hasn't changed.  The "Amiga Years" is in the photo but there is no link to it in their 'books' section.

Are we really sure it did ship on 09/01?

I'm certain it didn't ship on the 9th of January.
