Steve, not sure if you have the resources, such as a PDF of your, but as far as I understand it's very easy to get your book on the Amazon store in Kindle format. Here is one that explains, there should be more.

Sounds like a brilliant idea. I will email my publisher and find out what the contractual limitations might be, and let you guys know.

steve, I asked adam this question a while ago and his response was that electronic readers are not a big deal yet. I have given him notice to cancel my contract if he doesn't get his finger out of his arse! Other publishers may be interested to re-publish my book.

brian, get another publisher anyhow.  there are epic copy errors, and layout problems.  and like you said, they left out your footnotes.
i get irritated that, in this day and age, that copy errors can pass through, i mean, spellcheck for bob's sake.
