I didn't take what he said as rude at all, more along the lines of "get out and get some fresh air while supporting your local bookstore." Nothing more than that to me.
It's his right to do as he pleases with any books, but I'll also pass until it's available in ebook format though, I don't need more books taking up space around my already cluttered life. And as someone else already said, I bet it'll be scanned and uploaded to pirate sites inside of a month.
I doubt those of us passing on the book and the pirating of it will hurt sales enough that he'll even notice though.
