its amazing to me that these guys pivoted (or at least forked) from data services to journalism, but i think they do a phenomenal job as writers. watching their path has been as confusing as its been encouraging. congratulations on your book!

Can you buy it in an ebook format other than Kindle?

I've enjoyed Priceonomics blog posts and will probably get the book. Anyone remember when this was a pricing service startup though? Did they pivot to writing?

Did you even read the OP? They explain it.

Kinda off topic, but still: anyone besides me noticed how the logo and the favicon looks a lot like PayPal's?

Just curious -- how much of the book is based on blog content and how much is new?

I think this book should get some kind of Godwin award for mentioning hitler in the fourth paragraph.
