Oh Hey, I’m on the Kindle
So, I’m still sort of shocked that people actually bought paper copies of my thesis, “Facebook, Twitter and Barack Obama: New media and the 2008 Presidential Election,” considering it’s 60+ pages of econometric analysis and only a couple of bad “friending / liking” jokes. Seriously, I feel slightly bad for the people now suffering through my “pretend I know something about regression analysis” stage (don’t we all have one of those, though)?
Anyway, always being one to give the people what they want (and also curious to check out the e-publishing process itself), I’m happy to announce that my thesis is now available on Kindle! Yes that means that you can take me and my multiple-variable probit equations with you wherever you go: on the metro, on vacation, or snuggled up in bed.
It’s available at the low, low price of $2.99 (that’s like 0.0004% of the cost of a degree from Georgetown), and accessible in the US Store, the UK Store and the Germany Store.
Thus far it’s sold three copies. I only have two parents, so that means some random person is reading my sweet-little-econometric-nothings somewhere out there in the world. It’s currently ranked #78 in the “Elections: Bestsellers” category, just one spot behind “The Persecution of Sarah Palin: How the Elite Media Tried to Bring Down a Rising Star.” If nothing else, shouldn’t that be good motivation to buy my Kindle book?
Such an honor to be back at my Alma Mater, but this time instead of being a student presenting to consulting clients, I get to represent StartSomeGood as some brilliant Georgetown grad students make their presentation about our startup. Hoya Saxa! | iPhone Photo using Pro HDR |
