If she doesn’t respond, it’s cool if I win, or (cough) if you draw my name.

The contest is over and I selected a winner. However, she has not replied to my email. I will remind her and if I don’t hear from her, I will pick another name.

If I win the Kindle, do I get a handmade Kindle, or just a regular mass-produced one?

Really like the new cover, although the Japanese one (featured earlier on BB) still takes the cake for me. I think I´ll finally get it now.

Mark you need to talk to the publisher again – The Kindle version is listed as 14.25 and the paperback is listed as 10.88. Hope it’s successful for you but I’ll pass until the pricing settles down.

how about you send me the pdf and I’ll buy the paper and ink so I can make it myself?

OK! Buying the Kindle version. And, because I have a paper and ink fetish, I will be getting a printed copy.

Will the new edition be available as a Nook book? I’m really interested in kombucha and want to make sure I get the right edition.

Not a pricing error – just more publisher hijinks. I would buy the Kindle right now but I am going to buy used. Maybe the publisher will think twice in the future before instituting some arcane 20th century pricing policy.

I read the first two chapters – bloody hell this is good! This makes me want to hack *all of the things*.

Just bought the last stocked hard cover edition at Amazon. Great book! I was surprised the Kindle version was listed at twice the price as the paperbook. Glad to hear it was a mistake tho I’d have preferred the non dead tree edition. Seemed rather ironically digitally unfriendly for a BoingBoing founder

Thanks Mark. I figured it was an error related to the release of the paperback. I appreciate the response and look forward to reading your book.

(surreal) Yeah, the Kindle version of the paperback should be cheaper. (/surreal)

I spoke to the publisher. The Kindle will go to $9.99 when the paperback comes out. I don’t understand it and I don’t like it. Sorry.

I’m interested in the kindle edition but it’s currently listed at $23.91. That has to be a mistake, right?

I enjoyed the book and recommend it — especially the rule that failure is acceptable so as long as you learn from it.
