The irony of using Kindle Direct publishing but not putting out a Kindle version is palpable :-)
I have stopped buying paper books over past several years as they simply accumulate moisture and mould in the climate I live in and make rooms smell musty. It is incomprehensible to me why primarily textual books would be published without and ebook version these days.
- ghostly_s 7y agoOh it's vanity press? That explains the...cover. You'd think Kernighan would have no shortage of technical presses willing to put something out on whatever terms he dictated.
- davidgerard 7y agoThe joy of Kindle publishing is that you keep all the money ;-) This is already #243 out of all Amazon, so I'd say he was correct in this ...
- greatquux 7y agonice! but what's holding me back also is the lack of a digital version, otherwise i'd already have bought it. edit: he replied to me to say he's uploaded a version today that has to be approved.
- dchest 7y agoIt's better to call it self-publishing, not vanity press (a gatekeeping term).
