It would be next to impossible (and not very sensible) to refuse to let Amazon sell a physcial book.

Look at it as some kind of "special release"; it's not meant to be the next big Stephen King novel (that'll be "Doctor Sleep" later this year) -- it's a slight little book meant to celebrate the pulp novels of the 50s by coming in exactly that guise.

A lot like a band putting out some sort of live EP on vinyl only.

It's not meant to be taken as a statement against ebooks.
