Hey Mr Blank, kindle version please.

I second this. In this day and age, when ebook sales have surpassed hard cover sales, it's beyond ridiculous to publish a new book without a digital version, and, oh, only in hard cover format. That makes me doubt Steve Blank's judgment, more so than anything he writes.

I saw somewhere that a kindle edition is incoming.

For the older book, he refused to publish one, because he thought that it was more like a workbook, you're supposed to dogear it, take notes on the margins, color code, put postits on the pages, carry it around with you.

Hmm, well, re the last thing he wants, carrying it around; if there were a Kindle version of this it would be in the Kindle app on my phone which is with me almost constantly. A physical book, I don't think I'd bother carrying anywhere, which would probably prevent me from doing anything else to it or with it except one quick read and giving it away or having it rot on the shelf.

Steve and his people tell me that an e-book version coming later this year, probably iBooks first then Kindle (which is harder because of the formatting limitations in ePub).

I'll third that, with a request for an audio book version too.
