Thanks very much for your kind support and interest in The Digital Money Game. I am deeply touched.
A number of you have asked whether you could have a printed copy. I wanted to explain why we chose to publish an e-book, how to get it no matter where you are worldwide, and how to use it and get updates.
First of all I do strongly empathize with your sentiments. I myself love to have a physical book to hand. But…
- I could hardly write a book that advocates the ‘7C’s of digital money and then ignore those when publishing the book. That would be inconsistent.
- I want the book to be available at a price point that is accessible to everyone across the world as I want this to be a resource that people pick up when they are making life choices about their career.
- I want to be able to update it frequently as this is such a fast changing space, and have the new version made available to existing customers. So don’t be surprised when you get an e-mail from Amazon notifying you that an update is available. It is FREE and all you will need to do is enable updates on your reader.
- And most important of all, I had to get it out fast to every part of the world. That is where Amazon Kindle really comes into its own. You should be able to download it in minutes, no matter where you are.
You do not need to have a Kindle device. Just download the free Kindle reading app. The Kindle for PC supports you in reading the book on your computer.
Some of you felt that they were unable to buy on Amazon. I have received an assurance from the Amazon team that customers living in countries without a localized Amazon website can order it on www.amazon.com. No matter where you are it should be accessible to you.
When you get to Amazon, if it says “Pricing information not available” , please look to the right of the page. You should see a box similar to the one below. This will direct you to the appropriate website for you.
We are not ruling out the possibility of offering printed copies. Once we have a few more books in the series out, if there is sufficient demand and we can find a way of making it affordable we shall certainly consider this.
Meanwhile thanks again, and please don’t hesitate to write to me or drop us an email at contact@shiftthought.com in case you have any questions. I hope you enjoy the book and greatly look forward to your feedback.
We will discuss your questions and feedback at The Digital Money Group on LinkedIn and you are all very welcome to join us there.
