The resurgence of homebrew hardware hacking

Over at Wired there is a story on a new book about replicating the Apple I as a hobbyist platform. I’m fully on board with the concept — those who know me well know that I love low-level hardware hacking, although I have no real talent or skill. I’ll be buying a copy of the book; although I’m mulling over the hard versus soft copy issue. Is it right that the hardcopy should be cheaper than the ebook?

Between this book and Make: magazine the future looks bright for hardware hacking.
