There should be a Kindle/eBook version of this. One of the reasons why I haven't read "The Four Steps to the Epiphany" is because it's only available in paperback.
If you look at the comments on his post announcing the book, the majority are asking for a kindle/ebook version. He implies that it was easier to get going with a printed version, but I just don't understand how that's possible.
I would love to hear why.
I have Four Steps to the Epiphany and I hate its design (awkward size) and typography (the lines are too long!). It would look much better on my Kindle for sure.
Doubly ironic since I love to have reference books with me in Kindle format on my iPad - searchable, scannable (highlighted sections can be compressed together, and always with me). My paper books languish at home. With multiple offices and an apartment I don't, and I suspect this is relatively common, have "a" bookshelf.
I offered to do an eBook version for free (even though I would guess he could spare a dime or two) with LiberWriter. I suspect the problem is not time or money or access to competent people, but a desire to maintain the book as a print-only production, which is frustrating. Sure, perhaps it is better in print, but for some people, they're not going to get it if it's not an eBook.
This. I bought two cust devel books last year and Four Step wasn't one of them only because of the lack of a digital edition. I live in South America and I have no desire to wait a full month for a book that I have already paid for.
I second the eBook Version. It'e pretty frustrating that Steve doesn't want to create/ship one. I offered to pay MORE for an ebook than the paper book...
I bought the ebook version of Running Lean... it had quite a few diagrams that are quite useless in that form. I imagine business books with lots of diagrams. This might suffer from the ebook format too.
