Thanks for the link. I have been meaning to buy this book, but I couldn't get over the mental overhead of having it shipped to me. Now that is not a problem, and I am just about to start reading it :)
I think I am weird in the sense that I have Amazon Prime, so technically I could have had the book sooner by not waiting for the Kindle version (without much extra expense). I don't really understand why "1 click send-me-a-dead-tree" is different than "1 click email-me-$10-worth-of-text", but somehow it is. Maybe it's because I am out of space on my bookshelf and don't want to buy another :)
and if you're like me and use your wish list to keep track of your own future purchases, here is a link that lets you add the kindle version (since amazon still won't make these links easily visible)
So lame they only offer the sample chapter / read-and-buy funnel, for Kindle content. Amazon's wish-list value as a bookmark around targeted content for opinion and ancillary data (related literary links, Statistically Improbably Phrases, ..) build lots of good will. This, not so much.
Interesting. I have wanted to make a Kindle wishlist for some time; the best I have been able to do is to just have the previews sent to my device. Then when I want to buy the book, I do it from there. Kind of inconvenient.
Interesting. The Kindle version of this title came out before "The Web Startup Success Guide" which was also slated to be on Kindle and was published in paper form before "Coders" but so far nothing even though they are from the same publisher. I wonder why.
