Kiseido Digital Question

Post by Lictor »

Why Kiseido not sold every book in pdf format ? I really want to buy all of them but not really printed paper for some reasons.

- Shipment is too hard in my country
- Also shipment packet's maximum price must be 80 $
- I don't have enough space to store them
- Most important reason I generally spend my time on computer. If I need to study for a lesson in university. Firstly I scanning the book for my computer. I don't really like read them in the paper.

I saw they are selling four books digital but I already have them. I think they are biggest company in the Go world for publishing books. But it's really weird. I don't understand really this community. Many things are still not completely digital, many things are out of print, many things are still very expensive. Maybe for better audience and larger community somethings need to change.

OR I am completely wrong :sad:

If you have an Apple device you can consider SmartGo books (http://www.smartgo.com/books.htm). There you get some nice out-of-print-books (not just Kiseido, and many others as well) for a reasonable price.
