Thanks for calling me stupid for owning a Kindle and wanting to read my favorite author's book as soon as it's released.

I suppose I'm also an idiot for being able to buy a product at retail price, and not have to wait 6 weeks to afford it.

Only a fool would think that a 1000+ page book that normally takes weeks to read and enjoy is a "ludicrous" value at $35. You'd have to have a pretty low IQ to realize that going to a 90 minute movie (plus food/drinks) is easily over $20, or going to a concert or play would probably cost $50-$150. I am mentally deficient to think that the $35 book is a much better entertainment value than most other fun options.

As a dummy, I'd still like to know which of the two options you'd pick. a or b?

Do you think NO early ebook options is better than ONE?
