AJ,
While I like hardcopy books, the shipping cost to get them to me makes them rather awkward to purchase (unless they are with Amazon.ca).
Thus I've voted for the .pdf version. Maybe it is not as convenient, but it is easier to actually get.

Jeff, I agree with you, S&H can be awkward at times. However, publication of the paperback version will probably take place through CreateSpace, one of Amazon's subsidiaries. Amazon will then take on the print & distribution worldwide. I may well offer both paperback and .pdf versions, depending on the response. =)
Cheers, A J
Hi A.J.,
Let me plead the case for all who are "Techtards" and think "kindle" is the process of starting a fire. Ha, ha, ha! There is something special about reading a ripping yarn. The character a book acquires as the years roll on and you read it again and again; long after the financial pain of purchase and shipping are forgotten. That said; I'll take my Hetzenberg fix anyway I can get it.

I do hope that you can include some nice illustrations affordably!
Printing them out can be a real cost factor!
Arthur
Hi Arthur, we're thinking about the inclusion of illustrations. For the print version cost will be a factor. For the pdf it shouldn't be a problem.
