Book Update and Kindle Question

May 01, 2013 08:59

I knew when I wrote this book it should be updated with a new edition every 5 years or so, and with Healthcare reform coming in full force in 2014, I think the end of 2013 is a good time to say goodbye to the first one.  Anyway, it will still be available until the next time I need to pay the listing fee.  (I'll get back to you with the date.  I think it might be August.)  Much of the information in the book is timeless, but the second edition will have at least one additional chapter "Health and Medicine" (or some variation on that theme).  And I'll update a lot of little details and examples to make the book more current.

Ideally, the book would be off the market entirely for a little over a year, and second edition will be available at the end of 2014.  Realistically, it's too early to set dates.

I'm wondering if I should take advantage of the digital age, and instead of making a seperate listing for Kindle, just update the existing listing, which means those of you who have already bought Kindle copies, would get the update for free.

My only hesitation is someone might get miffed to find their book edition swapped out on them.  Thoughts?

P.S. I've tagged most of the entries now.  Should be easier to find relevant posts.

P.P.S. Leg has stopped tingling.  Still not conclusively sure what caused it, but I've been trying to exercise a little more, not sit so long, and keep the laptop off my lap.
