Me too! I don't see it on Amazon yet.
Ditch Amazon. Support independent publishers/bookstores.
Why support indie publishers / stores?
(I already dislike Amazon and don't use it for anything at all, I'd just like to hear your argument)

That's not an argument, that's a command. Why support indie publishers / stores? (I already dislike Amazon and don't use it for anything at all, I'd just like to hear your argument)

Why print ? It's impossible to search.
Searching isn't a great way of actually retaining information. You get a very shallow understanding of the topic. Reading books cover to cover, at least when they're well written and not full of padding, is time much better spent. And when doing so, I too prefer the ergonomics of printed books.

Not everything has to be an argument. Most communication is not an argument.
The argument would be for the purpose of convincing me that the command has any merit, right? After all, I'm not employed by the guy who made the command and he's not a government officer, so why should I listen?

You can't just command someone to do something and not explain why, otherwise, obviously, they're not going to follow the command.
