I am only occationally buying paper books right now, and only if I have a specific person I plan on giving it to.

In regards to a digital version, I’ve actually considered it and gone back and forth. Right now the hassle involved is easily the biggest obstacle (Kindle, epub, iPad–oh my!). In general, I think ebooks succeed based on the person reading, not the content. I don’t think certain books are better suited to a Kindle, it’s just that some people prefer to read in a digital format (So the question might better be if a book appeals to that kind of audience).

And for this book specifically I think taking it away from the screen is what’s so important. What makes this book work is that it’s no longer on Twitter. It’s not just a Twitter stream that you’d just as easily read in your favorite Twitter app (at least I hope it’s not). But all that to say, if a reader wants it in a digital form, who am I to argue? It’s only a question of if I can navigate those hurtles and make it happen.

There is nothing wrong with reading the format. It is quite readable. I enjoyed it, but I am not sure I want twitter books to become a wide spread phenomenon. I like twitter as twitter, but I like books to be longer form thoughts.
