If you have iTunes, AATE is available for pre-order, along with a sample which includes all of the first chapter and first half of the second chapter, which I've just finished reading. That might hold me over til next Tuesday.

DAMN! Next Tuesday!
I think I'm gonna take the week off and do a re-read from the beginning.

Thanks for this. I have an iPad, so at your instigation I downloaded the free preview and re-read chapter 1 and the extract of chapter 2. This was my first experience of extended reading of an iBook, and I must say that I am impressed, particularly in the case of reading SRD: whenever I encountered a word whose meaning I didn't know or couldn't recall, I just tapped on it, tapped on "Dictionary", and voila! Instant word power. That, price, portability, and early availability (compared to UK hardcover) mean that I am seriously considering buying the iBook version.

I have an iPad as well. I've read the iBooks versions of ROTE and FR in preparation for the release of AATE, and I greatly prefer the iBook version of AATE to the earlier works. Do you have any idea how soon it will be delivered to your iPad?

I haven't ordered yet, but I assume it would be available for download on the UK publication date (not before).

Or, of course, the US publication date if you have an account at the US iTunes store, as I now remember I do.
