There are plenty of ways to stop people from sharing on the net. However none of them are 100% fool proof. Other thing is to consider is if you price it right people wont try to steal it. It wont be worth the effort. Anyways thats my thought. I personally dont by printed books anymore as it is painful for me. But thats me and the generation who loves tablets and smartphones.

i only use tablets and smart phones as they are easier and lighter to carry around than books

Hi Greg, Out of curiosity why don't you look at an ebook for the folks who want it fast and may be bit cheaper too. In the modern consumer market, it would also make more sense to have a website/app you can publish the same information and keep it updated in realtime. (And charge a subscription per month or year) Then your book is always out, people get what they want and your CODB will be lower too. Just my 2c worth. Online is the way to go once people who likes physical books move on just to put it nicely. I love your books by the way.

It really is too much

Hello Robbie, My apologies if I offended anyone (obviously I offended at least one person). It was not my intention. My intention was to convey my message around technology and expected customer experience in the modern world. (Gen X. Gen Y and millennials are/will be the majority of consumers now and the future. Hence any product and services that do not address their needs will not be as successful as the ones that do address the needs of the abovementioned).
Lets not discuss my comment and the negative connotation you derived from it any further as the use of poor wording in my statement was taken out of context.

Kind regards
AP

i hear you  AUS PROOF , any one who does not embrace new technology will go the way of the dinosaur

[Goldseeker]

Maybe its that people just don't want to accept the new technology and want to retain the dinosaur way.

Some of the new technology is a real pain the behind whilst the dinosaur technology is more acceptable.

[humpybong]

I have to admit I love dinosaurs.

Some modern technology is very dangerous.

An opinion from an old fart...me!

[autocoupler]

:i_agree: From my perspective it's a bit like all this robotic tech stuff that the world seems infatuated with. What's the point if we are all out of work, and no one can afford the product, let alone a massive morale issue and lack of incentive. What's that I hear people say? it's all done this way so we have easier and better lives? Only while I believe in the tooth fairy heh :dodgy:

Considering cash is being quickly phased out within the next decade and the minting of new issues of coins will cease there won't be a need for updates to coin catalogues so I'd prefer to have a solid tactile book to put on the shelf as a memento of a bygone era. One computer virus, an infected cloud server, a host that pulls a stunt like recently happened with photobucket or a lost password and your e-book is gone forever.

That's why I prefer hard copies. However, soft copies are better if your house burns down, because it's much easier to carry a portable drive than a massive pile of books. It's also much easier to save them from flooding, because you can easily reprint them instead of having to buy them all over again. :ok:

This has turned into a very important and illuminating thread. Considering the many opinions of how Greg's book is best delivered, as well as the angst displayed by some over it's late arrival, sure does indicate that Greg's work is appreciated and is in high demand. :good:

Thank god :wavemulticolor:

Someone saw the intent behind all the comments... Nice work Auto.

:i_agree: It certainly shows some very clear thinking! :good:

So i am asked to discontinue making any further comment but other members can add further insult such as referring to older members as dinosours.
You guys think you know it all and can dictate terms and conditions as if you have expertise across all areas of numismatics and life itself.

Yet we have lovely young IT savvy couple running this forum , operating  phenominal internet blogg and internet numismatic business - i don't believe that i have witnessed evidence of your brilliance beyond insults to other members.  
I find the whole school prefect gang mentality quite immature and revolting.

Most of us here embrace the new technology!
But I feel a reference book that has taken an enormous amount of work to compile, is very much like a song or a piece of music, that a musician puts their heart & soul into, not to mention their time, only to have it put online where it can be downloaded at will with no consideration or recompense going to the person who is the original artist.
