Went to buy it and realized I already bought it. Sigh. My reading cue is as bad as my steam cue.

Own and would buy again. I've laughed out loud many times in the past few minutes just reviewing where I was in the book. Randall Munroe is a treasure.

Do you own the ebook version or the paper book? How do (or do you think) the illustrations would hold up on a regular Kindle Paperwhite. Thanks

They're just stick figures so they come across just fine on the Kindle.

Same. Which is ridiculous because I loved What If so much and it seems completely forgot about this one.
