    So...

    Is The Register replacing it's all its articles with downloadable Kindle books?

      Pricey?

      also where are El Reg staff buying stuff, first it was the pint that cost more than £4.60 and now its the Birthday Card that costs more than £2.20.

      Around where I live that £4.60 will get you two pints and the £2.20 will afford you 15 different cards

    If I spend money on something

    I would like to get something. Having some vague rights to some book isn't something I'd spend my money on. Offer it as PDF or ePub or something and I'll bite.

    Only if available in dead-tree format

    I don't do ebooks until the UIs vastly improve. For example, Android Books can't display footnotes, but it can display the little asterisk denoting one and apparently the latest Pratchett book has a ton of 'em, none of which I can see. Very irritating.

      Most everything under the "Site News" category is. It's the lesser remarked upon cousin's barber's brother's IT angle in the Bootnotes situation.
