The irony of using Kindle Direct publishing but not putting out a Kindle version is palpable :-)

I have stopped buying paper books over past several years as they simply accumulate moisture and mould in the climate I live in and make rooms smell musty. It is incomprehensible to me why primarily textual books would be published without and ebook version these days.

Oh it's vanity press? That explains the...cover. You'd think Kernighan would have no shortage of technical presses willing to put something out on whatever terms he dictated.

The joy of Kindle publishing is that you keep all the money ;-)

This is already #243 out of all Amazon, so I'd say he was correct in this ...

nice! but what's holding me back also is the lack of a digital version, otherwise i'd already have bought it.

edit: he replied to me to say he's uploaded a version today that has to be approved.

It's better to call it self-publishing, not vanity press (a gatekeeping term).
