In British English, the surname “Bowie” is pronounced either /baui/ or /bəui/- the former being the most widespread. However, the singer’s name is pronounced /bəui/.
I’m a half kindle, half paper reader myself. But as someone who makes money in the publishing industry, thank you to everyone who still reads with paper! We need both digital and paper sales to make it work these days.
