As some of you may know, my first trade book in about twenty years, Reading Virtual Minds is coming out this week ("coming out" == "it's entering the distribution channels"). It should be available via Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Borders, Lauriat's in the next few weeks and I'm guessing primarily either online or orderable (I doubt any brick&mortar is going to devote shelfspace to an author who's only written extremely technical, minimal distribution books for the past twenty years).
I was talking with a friend who Kindles more often than he hardcopies and he asked if there would be a Kindleable version available. I said I didn't know and as there wasn't a lot of demand (that I knew of), I doubted there would be.
And he suggested I find out how many of my blog readers would Kindle rather than hardcopy.
So I'm asking. Please leave a comment one way or another so I can get an idea, and thanks.

I love trees, but I love books... hard copy.

I'm partial to hard copy.
The books on the shelf are physical reminders of what I should know already.
Congrats on the publication.

I can't wait to read your book. I like the hard copy, however if it was available from the iTunes store I would download it.
Congrats for the book!

Many thanks to all of you for responding. Looks like print wins.
Jose, iTunes? Not sure I could describe the graphs (there are quite a few).
Thanks again,
Joseph
