Quite possibly not until three months after its release.

As it is published my MacMillan, who knows if and when it will be available. You can't even purchase the hardback directly from Amazon.

There are many, many threads here on MR discussing the topic. Some publishers have elected to delay releasing Kindle versions for fear they are losing hardback sales. Idiotic.
With the recent announcement of the iPad/MacMillan agreement, Amazon is being targeted directly and Steve Jobs/MacMillan have announced that new releases will be $14.99. Does price fixing ring a bell? According to publishers, the only alternative to pricing ebooks at the hardback rate is to delay the release and charge somewhat less. The ugly war begins. I suggest you read the threads here on MR for a more detailed explanation and discussion. |

Wasn't the preorder price $8 something? I wouldn't have ordered it at $9.99. I don't see that I've been billed for it yet so I don't know...

I figured anyone interested would easily find it.
Someone posted a pre-order price of $8.56. The interesting part of this is the change of not delaying the Kindle release for several months. Hmm.... |
