Ferriss signed a publishing deal with Amazon last year & because of that, stores like Barnes & Noble refuse to carry his book, considering that Amazon is a competitor to their business. So instead of being down about it, Ferriss went to the help of BitTorrent, more known for downloading illegal content than bestsellers, but it worked. It got 85,000 more views on Amazon’s website & will be on the NY Times list.
