Or will it be availible like an e-book or similar? Thanx! Kindle for iPad (free app) is the way to go. You launch the Kindle app and click "Buy Books" and then type in "Starcraft Bible" in the search bar and then click "Buy for Kindle" and boom, done. I was reading this last night between the break from GSL Code A to Code S matches, while also reading this thread. I think I maxed out on SC geekery. The book is awesome. I watched the Flash/Jaedong/Power Failure MSL live and I think I was just as excited reading the author's recap as I was when I was first watching it. | ||

Some of the reviews are a little stupid; one of them talks about how they are a bronze level player and how they bought this book to get better and was disappointed. Sounds like they entirely missed the point, eh? starting now, wish me luck! i agree. i hope you guys who understand what the book is about will review it to counterbalance those  | ||

It isn't showing up in searches yet, probably because it will take time propagate through the system but if you want to wait a bit for a physical copy, that's your best option (same price but cheaper/quicker shipping). I just want to say, I am super glad there's a kindle version, and as soon as Amazon shows up the physical version, I'm going to be buying it as a gift for a friend. That aside, I want to suggest that you take a look at the formatting for the kindle version. I've obviously never been on the publishing side of things, but things like a functional hyperlink table of contents really make the kindle experience better, especially in a book like this where people will want to jump around to read and reread various sections in no particular order. (this is actually just feedback on the kindle sample, so if the full version--which I shall be buying soon, but not before finishing other reading--behaves differently, sorry to bring it up!) | ||

Yeah I agree. Formatting is something I need to improve on. Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely make use of it. | ||

Any idea if it will work smoothly on my Reader Pocket edition or should I just wait for a Sony Reader edition? I know my Reader supports PDF but the formatting is always wonky. I couldn't tell you, I don't have a Sony Reader nor the resources to test it out on a Reader. I am trying to have my work on Sony store but Sony simply doesn't make it as accessible as Amazon or Barnes and Noble. I'd say your best bet would be the PDF but if you have negative experiences there, I'm not sure what to say at the moment. | ||

 Gogogo everyone! Edit: Chobo, you might want to add a product description for the paperback when you get the chance. I know the Kindle version already has one. It just made me mad when noobs posted on the reviews saying something like "I was bronze and expected this book to get me to diamond and it didn't." Ugh. | ||

Paperback just doesn't feel right for something as epic as this. | ||

Paperback just doesn't feel right for something as epic as this. probably would be out in hardcover now if it was going to, always a possibility if it's really successful, but won't be successful unless we buy the paperback . so I just got the paperback.... | ||
