Whatever, it's his book. Maybe it "is" a case of nostalgia for paper on his part. Anyway, he was somewhat of a pioneer when it came to trying to distribute books in electronic form. I am thinking of "The Plant."
I assume that both he and his publisher are aware that it will be pirated. Maybe he doesn't care. I doubt he needs the money, although his publisher might ....
I suspect that many people who would download a pirated version might do so even if there was an "official" ebook version released in conjunction with the paperback.
Will be interesting to see how sales go.
