Where can I buy an e-text of the book?
Could we have a more complete list of books Michael Barone couldn't put down?
:-)
I was surprised Drucker didn't get more explicit reference... :)
Arnold, is there a reason why there isn't a Kindle edition of this book? I'd have bought it soon after it came out if it had a Kindle edition, as I could easily carry it with me.
it is available on the kindle:
http://www.amazon.com/Poverty-Prosperity-Intangible-Liabilities-ebook/dp/B002XZMDQ4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258901886&sr=8-3
for some reason, this is not noted on the page for the hardcopy edition.
i am still at a loss trying to understand the kindle. i got a demo the other day from a proud owner. i was left scratching my head. e.g. the page rendering takes way too long upon clicking next page. the navigation was awful. i will be happily sticking with hardcopy w/amazon prime until the bitter end.
Bean_Counter:
Don't judge all Kindles by a bad experience with just one Kindle.
I am a very satisfied user of the Kindle 2, which suffers none of the defects you mentioned.
Les: I will increase my sample size :) I am a self-admitted late adopter (first mp3 player = 2007, first hd tv = 2009). Any upside from carrying around one device as opposed to dozens of books is easily offset by the loss of intimacy with softcopy vs. hardcopy. I like to take notes and highlight....doing this virtually just doesn't cut it yet.
For non-kindle owners, Kindle for PC is now available. The major upside that I can see from this is that you can download sample chapters for free before ordering a hardcopy (i.e. it is significantly better than the LookInside feature).
I have downloaded a sample of Kling's book via Kindle for PC and definitely recommend checking it out. My hardcopy should be arriving this week.
