Why are some book series only partially available? 1 Year, 6 Months ago Karma: 0
Anybody know why so many series don't have all the books in e-book format? I've never seen where it's laid out how the books are negotiated to e-book form and it seems weird if things like Raymond Feist has almost all his books in e-book, but not the original Riftwar Saga, or Piers Anthony has 2 of 6 of the Incarnations of Immortality series available. Steven Brust has 2 of his Taltos series available.

Was just wondering if there was anybody to contact to ask for some of these. I'd buy more books in e-book, but what's the point of buying part of a series? What I want is to clear out some of my physical copies and transfer them to the nook.

Thanks to anyone who has any insight or info.

EDIT:

Looked in another section and found some useful info here: nooktalk.net/discussion-forums/8-content...tally-available.html

While I understand that the publishers decide what books do or do not get published in e-book format, it seems dumb (and anti-capitalist) to not make a whole series available. Do publishers not read?
