As much as I'd like to see the BOT and Tiki Modern enter the digital realm, the question of whether it can generate revenue for our esteemed author is another issue entirely. I still prefer, as you say Sven, the tactile feel of paper for books like yours. For just the printed word, however, eBooks are great.

But I think that's quickly changing. eBook readers with larger and higher res screens will be able to handle books like the BOT just fine. B&N's Nook just had this update very recently:

PagePerfect NOOK Books - a whole new category of NOOK Books carefully crafted to keep the precision and beauty of their stunning print versions. Zoom in on pictures, and fluidly scroll through pages of beautiful cookbooks, art books, and more.

Sounds great, doesn't it? My Nook's (and iPad's) screen is too small to do justice to something like the BOT, but I'm sure larger and higher res screens are coming. Frankly, it's the way everything is headed.

Lucas, your thread has turned into a discussion on the availability of Sven's books! It's relevant though and part of the overall equation. I'd just like to add that I have not deserted my love for "purist" (as you call it) tiki. My participation on TC has dwindled to a trickle only because I don't like to post here unless I have something of real value to add. And since our obsession is with things that have their roots in the past, it's getting harder and harder to come up with anything "new" to add to the discussion. So, lack of posts doesn't mean lack of interest. We're still here. :)
