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

I love it when Americans do sarcasm properly.

Does anyone have this book in their hot little hand yet? It seems like forever since this was first mentioned. Be nice to finally be able to buy and enjoy reading this book.

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

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.

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 dig it.  I know people with poor eyesight who appreciate digital books.  I try to obtain non-DRM copies to carry on my TouchPad when I travel.  (not eyesight-related, just for travel convenience when I'm away from my library.)

That's the Amiga.org tradition!

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.

Still unavailable at Amazon, although my pre-order has not been cancelled...

Yeah, my preorder still shows up from 3 Oct 2012
