Doesn't sound like he's going to be pulling any punches.

Looks very much like a must-read

thats some gouging for the early purchasers !
The incremental cost of each subsequent book on Kindle is bugger all.

My point is that £2.99 is a lot unless it's all going to the producers of the book.
My point is that those who bought it what, less than seven days ago, paid a tenner more for it.
The incremental cost of a paper book is also bugger all, it doesn't cost £3 per book to print and ship. Remember that a chunk of ebook revenue goes to HMRC which is not the case for paper books. £2.99 is nothing by the time it's split between HMRC, Amazon, the publisher and Ross.

Glad I didn't buy it when it was £12. Was going to wait for a proper book at Christmas but not when the ebook is £3 cheaper
