A Hacker’s Mind is Out in Paperback

The paperback version of A Hacker’s Mind has just been published. It’s the same book, only a cheaper format.

But—and this is the real reason I am posting this—Amazon has significantly discounted the hardcover to $15 to get rid of its stock. This is much cheaper than I am selling it for, and cheaper even than the paperback. So if you’ve been waiting for a price drop, this is your chance.

Interesting/odd: Amazon.ca has not discounted the hard cover (yet). I wonder if it will eventually?

Exchange + shipping from Amazon.com comes out at a couple bucks more than buying from .ca, so no arbitrage opportunity there.

Taxes are making me dumb. $22 in import fees to the backwoods I inhabit. No wonder idiocracy has taken over the world.

Amazon requires kindle.
B&N requires nook.
Apple books doesn’t have any purchase information.

Any way i could get a non-DRMed ebook (or one that does not require a specific vendor-locked device)?
