EDIT 2: Release date seems to be confirmed, mousing over where it says "Oathbringer (Stormlight 3) third draft" shows the release date (thanks /u/Torrieltar)

I saw that also, but I didn't easily see the release date on Brandon Sanderson's website, so I didn't want to include that in case it was incorrect.

I'm guessing that the date is there since that's what's listed on Amazon, but again, couldn't confirm it on Sanderson's website.

Edit: Also note that while it is listed on Amazon, Amazon does often list incorrect release dates and then change them as more information becomes available, so until there's confirmation from someone on the Sanderson team, I'd not pay it much mind.

Despite the guilt I feel for not supporting local booksellers, I usually buy my books from Amazon, sometimes for Kindle, sometimes hard copy. For both WoK and WoR, the "pre-order price guarantee" gave me the best price available before publication, which ended up being ~$18. Oathbringer has been going up and down, but at one point last month it dropped to $21, so if you pre-ordered before then, your order was locked in to that price (unless it drops even lower). The same guarantee functions on the kindle versions, but in my experience those prices fluctuate less.

So if you are concerned about value, the hardcover and the kindle version are very close to the same price point and I recommend getting "more" for your money by buying the physical book. With all the artwork in the SA books, there really is a good reason to buy the dead-tree version. (Yes, the art is available on Brandon's site, but it's not the same.)

On the other hand, and Brandon has talked about this before, printing the book is not the bulk of the cost behind making a book. Yes, it's a chunk (especially shipping) but the author, artists, editors, and marketing folks all do the same work for the final product. So the cost of printing a book vs. transmitting a data file is a poor metric for determining the appropriate sale price.

(I realize this doesn't address your point about kindle vs. paperback. I'm not sure how pricing decisions change once the book is no longer a new release. Maybe they are competing against a stronger library/used book alternative? Not sure.)

The paperback looks to be the International edition, non - intl ed seems to be the only hardcover which is what is being sold in Canada (stores).
