We've been having some trouble getting Amazon and Ingram Spark to
talk to each other, such that the Kindle EBook isn't available in
the right place (with the new print edition).

So I went and made a Kindle Direct Publishing account and published
it there.  It will take 72 hours to show up, and we'll see if it
helped.  If nothing else, this should give me a way to talk to
Amazon about where the ebook is showing up.

I went with their 70% royalty configuration, which caps the price at
$9.99, leaving us with $6.70 (I think?) in royalties per book.
Since the book is free, this seemed the polite thing to do.  The
board should feel free to direct me to assign another price, but
bear in mind that if we go any higher we have to do 35% royalties.

Depending on how it works out, I may or may not pull the ebook from
Ingram Spark.

I've also signed up to try to get Search Inside This Book working,
which it turns out is a completey independent-of-everything-else
account that you request via email (0___o).

Bob: this means your phone number is now in two more places.  This
is unlikely to come up.

Ali: Please stop trying to get them to talk; I give up.
