Finally!
After several months of waiting, the wizards at Amazon finally figured out how to process Journalism Next for the Kindle. Yes, you can finally purchase a book about digital media on … wait for it … digital media.
Unfortunately this occurs about six months later than the folks at Amazon told us to expect it.
The book is also available a la carte in electronic form on CQPress’s new custom publishing website. There, you can purchase it by the chapter, so if you want to assign your students certain sections, but not others, you’ll save them the expense and paper hassle of purchasing the entire book. I love this option, even if it means a little less for the author in the end.
In case you’re wondering, the book is selling well. It completely sold out at the conference book store this week at the SPJ conference (repeating the sell-out from SXSW earlier this year) and is getting adopted by college professors all over the country.
Thanks to everyone who has picked up a copy or contributed to its creation. You’re the reason I’m doing this all over again.
