I don't know about you, but this was the week I was waiting for - the appearance of Game Change, the title whose eBook delay has started a firestorm of 1 star reviews on Amazon. Amazon appears to have begun offering pre-orders, perhaps to try and stem the tide of criticism, the other three stores in our survey remain mum. Barnes and Noble is mysteriously without #7 - The Checklist Manifesto, and nobody has pre-orders even for Born to Run, #15 on the list this week.
