Sorry Palin/Kennedy book readers... you'll just have to wait a little longer
So all you eager e-book readers who want to get your hands on the latest Kennedy or Palin memoir (how often do you expect to see those 2 names juxtaposed in the same sentence!).
Palin's memoir is apparently slated for release on 11/17. However, the eBook version will not be released until 12/26 to maximize the hardcover sales. According to the article: Quote:
p.s. I know this isn't really news... I just couldn't resist posting a news item that featured both Kennedy and Palin in the same context (something that I'm sure both camps would be appalled at!) |

"Which ebooks do you read, ex-governor Palin?"

If there's a real demand, both books will be scanned, OCR'd and available on the Darknet on or before their hardcover release dates. All it's really likely to do is lower eBook sales because people will be less interested in either book by the time the eBook's released.

Strongly resisting the urge to make some snarky comment about how Palin's memoir will be 10 pages long and mostly be about denying anti-corruption charges after her short time in office. Maybe she will go into the years of being a housewife and beauty pagent winner, or how she had to go to 7 colleges to find one that would graduate her, or her knowledge of world affairs..
She sums up what's wrong with politics, people voting for figureheads who give them a warm fuzzy aw shucks feeling. Oh damn I made a snarky comment, sorry! |

Palin's book wouldn't work with current e-ink screens anyway, you would need a colour screen to get the full effect and higher rez to see how careful she had been not to go over any edges with her crayons.
