Support Small Business: Buy the 2012 Baseball Prospect Book!

I’ve ordered anyway, but I’d also like Kindle-compatibility. If it isn’t possible this year, maybe it could be looked at for the future.

Some of the lines might not look pretty, but it’ll be readable

John, I will be one of those to have only an electronic version this year after buying the book in hard copy for the past umpteen years. I will also "see what happens regarding my use of the pdf format. There is something about having the book in your hands that I will miss, but if I find the electronic version as useful as the paper version, I’ll stick with it… no cross-border issues, and no delay in receiving it.
You can rest assured, however, that I will not allow my copy to be pirated and have that eat into your livelihood. The Sickels pearls of wisdom are like gold and need to be guarded as such, so that they keep on flowing in future years.

I was one of those who lobbied for and purchased the pdf last year and I am sorry to hear you had unsold hard copies. Were your total sales up or down?

I’m not an expert on Kindle, though both my wife and I own one, but I would think that a Kindle version would guard against piracy — someone would have lend their Kindle to someone else, which would seem to me to be less of a possibility then lending the actual book, since one’s Kindle hold many books, not just one. You’d have far more control with a Kindle version than a pdf. I would expect there would be an extra cost too to publish on Kindle, but if piracy is a concern, it may be worthwhile.

I bought the pdf last year after buying the book before, and as an American in Canada, it was great to avoid the shipping costs. I also prefer the pdf as a I prep for my auction and create lists of players to target in the auction, players to target in our reserve draft and players to track over the course of the season.

Thanks again for making the book available in pdf so early — I’ll be ordering my copy this week!

I live in Germany, have not bought the book yet but don´t want anything to do with PayPal and would rather avoid sending cheques (which we don´t really have over here anymore and which I´d probably have to order from my bank 1st).

I will however buy the e-book or a hard-copy if I can pay via credit card. Heck, I might send cash in the mail, hoping it gets through….
