Purchased. $6 for a PDF of a book from you, after watching your years of quality analysis? It's a no-brainer. Hopefully some others around here pony up for less than the cost of a McDonald's value meal, too. How long until I receive the download link, or whatever? :)

Also, on the site it mentions a "home field advantage makes a difference" section. I definitely agree that it's overstated, but I'm just curious, is it presented as never making a difference of any kind, ever; or just as rarely having one?

Thanks Roland! Just sent it over to you. You'll enjoy the reasoning why behind why these are myths. Gene Clemons made a great case for the Bench Press being overvalued. That was one of my favorites along with Chris James' theory about moving poor OTs to Guards and Cornell Hunter's Sophomore Slump.

Any plans to convert it to an .epub or .azw file release? I ask because those convert back and forth nicely, but from .pdf tends to get pretty wonky.

I thought about it..and will probably do a '2nd edition' formatted for that service.

I will say this though… Our future books (coaching books, motivational books, draft guides, and team-specific special items and other fun stuff like the Myths book) will be available in all formats!

Popeye, download E-Calibre for free from here: http://calibre-ebook.com/ You can convert it to anything using that.

Though, I am definitely in favor of a native EPUB version, for sure. EPUB is the best overall format out there, in my opinion.

Yeah, I use Calibre (which is awesome), but I've still had problems with it converting PDF to EPUB. I spend a significant amount of my work day in PDFs, but just hate them as a file format (Repligo Reader on my tablet is the only thing that keeps me from tearing my hair out, probably).

qPDF Notes Pro is better than Repligo, IMO. I'm not a fan of reading in PDF format either, though. Believe it or not, sometimes it works out quite well to just upload the PDF to your Google Play Books account (https://play.google.com/books) and read it through the Play Books app, lol. I've done that a number of times.

Also, Peaches, you shut your mouth before I put Sac in it!
