John Grisham has NOT gone digital after all
Do you remember back in February when Mr. Grisham's agent said that ebooks would be out "soon"? Seven months have passed and nothing has happened.
I've been trying to follow up on this the past several weeks and I can't get the agency, The Gernert Company, to give me the time of day. I invite all of Mr. Grisham's fans to ask his agents directly. Here is the email address: The Gernert Company <info@thegernertco.com> |

Let them know you're unhappy about it. Download them from the darknet, then shoot them an e-mail letting them know you enjoyed the digital version of his books on your e-reader.

Title is misleading. Just because the books have not been released yet as ebooks does not mean they will never be released.

Publishing soon is orders of magnitude slower than anyone else's in the universe.

Well, since it seems that Ms. Niffennegger's publishers have decided for her to offer her second book in ebook format (despite her personal rant against the death of pbooks), this decision may lie solely with his publishers, not the author. Money talks.

Maybe he didn't have a clue as to what was involved in releasing them, there are quite a few books. Maybe they're waiting to release them at the same time as his next book to capitalize on marketing. I suspect they'll want this to be a "big" release like Clancy or LotR. It's possible all the books are done and waiting for an 'event' that's been planned to take place. They may not say anything about it if Random House has asked them to stay hushed for now. |
