Hello Mike,

Here’s the latest of what we know: http://www.gtdtimes.com/2010/12/02/faqs-about-download-and-international-versions-of-david-allens-books/

We don’t get too many details from the publisher on where they will release in specific countries.

Hi,
Are there any further updates to the information above about an ebook release of GTD in the UK for either Kindle or iBook formats?

Regards
Mike

Hello there,
I’m a fan of ‘The David’ and already own the GTD paperback – but the book would serve me much better on my iPad/iPhone. Unfortunately, here in the UK, I cannot get *any* GTD books in this format – not even on Kindle! Audible has nothing either.
I realise the regional publishing rights issues are significant, and am depressed at having to rely on the publishers ever ‘taking notice’ of demand for these books.

It’s 2010, I have several handheld computers/media devices that were once only a sci-fi dream – and I have to buy my GTD books as paperbacks!

Very, very frustrating!

Hoping for a positive change soon, but not holding my breath.

Hi Liz,

Thanks for your reply. Sounds like a nightmare… Apologies for the obvious frustration in my first comments.
How about you set up an online poll asking iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad users if they want the GTD books in iBooks, then present the results to the relevant company?

Hi James,

Liz Harward here in the products department. It is frustrating for us too knowing that the material is not available in the format that folks need. I have called David’s agent at Viking regarding this and he has forwarded to the appropriate department at Viking. We are not being flippant about this issue, I apologize if you felt we were being sarcastic. Download rights are sold just like the audio rights (which are owned by Simon and Schuster except for the unabridged “Ready For Anything” – those audio rights are owned by Recorded Books). If no one or company comes forward to buy the e-rights in that specific country then the materials are not available. So it is a matter of who wags the tail on the dog. If the customers demand the material then someone eventually takes notice and buys the rights in that country and format. It is a complicated landscape that changes sometimes on a weekly basis. It will become more clear as the publishing/app world catches up with the demand. I sincerely hope this helps.

In looking at the stats for passages that are highlights, the most common GTD post is #24 on the list and is the essence of the GTD process (folks highlighted the right passage in the book!).

Heh – never mind. Thanks for the sarcasm.
