Shatnerverse Books not available in ebook form?
I've noticed that the Shatnerverse books (Star Trek: The Return, Star Trek: Avenger, Star Trek: Spectre, and many more) are not available in ebook form, in any format. Of course, I have the .txt versions of those books, but I'd rather buy one that is formatted the way the published version looks, preferably in epub format.

Does anyone here know the specific reasons why the Shatnerverse books aren't readily available online? I am thinking about buying the paperback versions and formatting the .txt files I have from it, in sigil for eventual outputting to epub format.

It would appear that at least some of the Shatner Star Trek books are available as eBooks (at least in the US, you don't say where you are).

Links are to Amazon, but if they have them other vendors should too...
Spectre
Captain's Peril
Preserver
Dark Victory
Captain's Glory
Captain's BLood
Academy - Collision Course

I'd guess the others will become available over time as Pocket/S&S get to them depending on how fast they're doing backlist stuff.

Thanks for the list. The Return and Avenger novels were the ones I was looking for. I've since bought The Return in paperback. I have since completed The prelogue, ch 1, 2, 3, and 4 in Sigil.

Stop.

I'd been interested in checking out Shatner's Tek books, but so far, none of them are available as ebooks either.

I noticed that quite a few of Shat's books aren't available as ebooks. In any case, I'm having a bit of a tough time getting drop caps to display correctly in Sigil, even when I use Word and then save it as HTML for importing into Sigil.
