Hi Kev... the Kindle edition is available but only in the USA. However, other eBook formats are available Internationally. For example, you can purchase the PDF and load that onto the Kindle, I believe. I have a list of all available eBook formats on the Power Books site: http://www.garrigus.com/powerbooks.asp
 
Thanks!
Scott

Hi Kev... the Kindle edition is available but only in the USA.

 
I contacted Amazon a while back about purchasing Kindle books. I was told that I can purchase from either the US or UK site (but not both).

OK. I bit... er, bought! I got the Kindle edition. It is the most expensive book I have bought for the Kindle but I am sure it will be worth every cent. I do have two questions and I apologize if this one has been asked and answered.... but:  1 > does it stand alone or do I need to use X1 Power with it?
 
Having it on Kindle is really nice. I will also put it on my computer on the Kindle app.
 
2 > Have you considered making your books in a folder or notebook format. I mean like a three ring binder sort of book. Then errata could be inserted where needed as a whole replacement page and more important, it would lay flat with no problem and without the middle of the pages humped up. I know your books do lay without trying to close but I've always though a three ring version would be really nice. I don't know but I think it might be more expensive that way unless we were to provide our own binder. Then you could just ship the pages and a cover sheet to insert the binder. Heck, you might even make more money that way because you should be able to make copies yurself and sell direct... along with selling the regular pubished books, unless of course the publisher would object to something like this. Anyway, just a question/thought.
 
Thanks for ALL you do... and you do a LOT for us. I think most of us are aware of that. You and Karl are a real boon to us mortals. I'd like to see the two of you get together and do a "webinar". I bet it would be awesome.

Also, thanks for that great picture! I'm going to share that over on my Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ pages, if that's okay.

 
Why don't you stand by on that proposal and I'll get you an even better pic when I'm using the thing in action with my full recording setup?

I contacted Amazon again today about the availability of the Kindle version of this book. Their reply was as follows:
 
I'm very sorry about the incorrect information you received.
I've checked our website and verified that the book, "SONAR X2 Power!" isn't currently available for Kindle. Currently, it is only available in Paperback edition. So it is not available for any region.

Bought It!! Great Book! The Bible of Sonar ! Thanks Scott you are Awesome , looking forward to X3!!!

Hey Julien... thanks very much! I hope you enjoy the book. The book stands alone... you don't need any other edition. Each edition is independent. It has to be this way because there are always new people picking up Cakewalk and not just upgraders. And yeah, the notebook format idea has been brought up in the past, but it's not a feasible format because of cost and for the purposes of marketing. If you walk into a bookstore, I doubt you'll find any books in that format. It's definitely a nice idea, but it can't be done. Regarding the cost... yeah, both the print and eBook editions contain the same exact content and you're actually paying for the content, not the format. So while the eBook costs a little less, it's not by much.
 
Thanks again! And, only if you have time, after you get a chance to look through the book, would it be possible for you to post a review up on Amazon and in the Cakewalk Store?
 
Scott

Hey Kev... not sure why they said "any region" because that's not true. The Kindle edition is available to readers who reside in the USA. See jbow's message above... he just purchased it. Also, I'm looking at the Kindle page right now and it's definitely available for purchase. The reason you can't see the purchase availability is because the Amazon.com site knows that you reside outside the USA. It knows this either by your address or your internet IP address (or both). So the Kindle edition is available in the USA but all other editions are available worldwide. You could get the PDF and load that on to the Kindle, I believe. All the editions contain the same exact content.
 
I'm really sorry for this inconvenience. The publisher is negotiating an International distribution deal for their entire catalog (not just my book) with Amazon. And unfortunately, I have no control over this and I don't know when it will be completed.
 
Thanks!
Scott

Hey Rick... thanks, man! I really appreciate that. I guess the book is so good that you even did a double post to emphasize the point. By the way, very cool avatar...
