I think I have. It was ok, nothing to get excited about. In terms of contrast and fragility I'm hoping the Sony 505 will be better. The POD book was grey-on-grey and started to fall apart after about a month and three readings. It also cost a bundle - $US12 to print according the the author.

I bought a copy of "Echoes in the Blue" direct from the author and out of the cover price he donated $1 to activists, then some to the retailer/distributor and seems to get about $1 after costs. I asked about an eBook version and he says the deal he has with the distributor prevents that. You can download the prologue though.
