I'm looking forward to reading Sarah's book on Web 2.0 companies. Strangely, the Kindle version is MORE EXPENSIVE than the hardback? How can that be?
Hardback: $17
Kindle: $20If the book were a "best seller" - it would sell for $10 on Kindle. But I don't see how Amazon justifies selling the Kindle version for more than the hardback price.
Sarah is rumored to be planning a book tour - hopefully coming to Seattle as well.
