Quantum Computing Since Democritus got me thinking that we may want a more riveting title for The Sequences, 2006-2009 ebook we're preparing for release (like the FtIE ebook). Maybe it could be something like [Really Catchy Title]: The Less Wrong Sequences, 2006-2009.

The reason for "2006–2009" is that Highly Advanced Epistemology 101 for Beginners will be its own ebook, and future Yudkowskian LW sequences (if there are any) won't be included either.

Example options:

The Craft of Rationality: The Less Wrong Sequences, 2006–2009
The Art of Rationality: The Less Wrong Sequences, 2006–2009
Becoming Less Wrong: The Sequences, 2006–2009

In the end, we might just call it The Sequences, 2006–2009, but I'd like to check whether somebody else can come up with a better name.

Suggestions?

The plan is to create a PDF, .epub, and .mobi version—just like the Facing the Intelligence Explosion eBook—and make it available on our site, as well as through Amazon and iBooks.

As for pricing we want it to be accessible, so it will either be free or very inexpensive.

Do you plan on enforcing copyright on the extant ebook versions of the sequences?

Amazon (rather wisely IMO) has minimum pricing requirements for ebooks, though at the moment that'd be $2.99 for books of this size. However, from a signaling perspective it's better to have a pricey book that a few people buy and the rest steal, than to have a book that looks too cheap to be of actual value. People also are less likely to read a cheaper book in the first place (even if they bought it) or to apply the ideas therein, since if the author/publisher didn't think it was that valuable, why should they?
