ACQUIRE THE READING EXPERIENCE: THE BOOK
A BOOK-LENGTH ADAPTATION OF THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE READING EXPERIENCE
THIS IS NOT A COMPENDIUM OR COLLECTION OF POSTS FROM THE WEBLOG. I HAVE CHOSEN THOSE POSTS THAT MOST DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE SUBJECTS I HAVE CONSISTENTLY PURSUED OVER THE LIFE OF THE READING EXPERIENCE WEBLOG, REARRANGED AND REVISED THEM, AND IN SOME CASES ADDED COMPLETELY NEW MATERIAL. IT IS IN SOME WAYS THE BOOK I MIGHT HAVE WRITTEN HAD I NOT CREATED THE WEBLOG INSTEAD.
Available in the following forms and formats:
--Free at Scribd
This site allows you to read the book online in a book-like facsimile, download the text in .pdf or .txt versions, download and print it, download it to various devices (I'm not sure how the formatting will hold up on some of them), or add it to your very own Scribd "collection." In this configuration you can navigate to individual sections of the book through links on the TOC page.
--Free at Yudu
This site mostly displays the book in a facsimile (although the display is pretty cool), but you can also print it, download it to a Zip file, bookmark and annotate pages, etc. There is a search function that allows you to go to a specific page as well.
--As a free-standing pdf file.
This also allows you to go to specific sections through links in the Table of Contents.
--As a Kindle e-book.
This will cost you $0.99. I'd like it to be free, but this is the minimum I'm allowed to charge.
This version is printed by CreateSpace. It costs $17, which is way too expensive, but this was the cheapest printed text I was able to construct. Again I'd like to make it free, but current technology (and my expense account) does not make it possible.
