December 14, 2011 BP UnfilteredBest of Baseball Prospectus Books Now AvailableBest of Baseball Prospectus: 1996-2011 (Volume 1 and Volume 2) are now available for purchase both as PDFs through BP and as hard copies on Amazon.com. This means that you can stop emailing me to ask when they'll be available, though I hope you'll still email me to say hi. All those messages in my inbox made me feel more important.
The books are currently in-stock and shipping, and if you buy the matched set, you'll be over the $25 minimum for Amazon to cover your shipping. When we mentioned two-day shipping earlier, Dave was forgetting that not everyone is an Amazon Prime member, but Amazon guarantees that the free Super Saver shipping option will get the books to you by Christmas. The free shipping by Christmas option is available for a limited time only, so if you're in a gifting mood, have a look today. Click here for the initial announcement or follow the links to buy the PDF above for a reminder of what you'll be getting, or you can click here or on the image to the right to see a sample article in the same format you'll see in the book and PDF. Now that the books have been put to bed, we have some ideas for events and promotions for them that we finally have a little time to work on. We'll have more on those soon. In the meantime, thank you, and enjoy.

Thanks Ben. Is iBooks/Kindle still a possibility? If not, I'll place my order now, but I'd prefer the digital version.
Greg, we've done some preliminary work on the ebook, but we didn't want to wait on releasing the other stuff while we finished it. Its definitely in the plans.
I suggest you could download the PDF version and then attach it to an e-mail that you send to your Kindle. (Look up FAQs about "Kindle Docs" for the exact instructions) I did this with Hockey Prospectus last year. It works fine (looks just like the printed page), and although the pages didn't dynamically resize like a normal Kindle book, the added bonus was that tables, charts, lists, etc. that had been carefully formatted for the printed page didn't get all messed up on the Kindle screen as often happens with e-books.
