There will be. If things go well, then by the end of this year everything that is currently in print will be available in all major ebook formats. Apologies to everyone who has been hungering for them, but so far there's just never been time to get around to doing them. Producing new work and wrangling with Big Old Problems have eaten up all the hours that we had.

WHAT ABOUT THE STUFF THAT IS OUT OF PRINT?

Depends on the title. Some of Peter's older titles (like The Folk of the Air and The Innkeeper's Song) are going to be revised before they are reissued in any format, so for those there will be a wait. The ones that aren't going to be revised will obviously come out sooner, in a program that puts out print and ebook editions in whatever way makes the most sense for us.

WAIT A MINUTE -- YOU'RE REVISING THE FOLK OF THE AIR?

Yep. Extensively. The same goes for anything else Peter wasn't entirely happy with, for whatever reason. Author's prerogative.

WHAT ABOUT NEW TITLES?

Starting next year, the plan is to release ebook editions simultaneously with any original paper editions unless the paper edition publisher in question prefers a different schedule.

WOOHOO! I have all these books in p-format. I can't wait to add e-format
editions.

I've been a subscriber of The Raven for a couple of years now. It's very good for keeping up with what's going on.

And let me say how much I enjoy my audio version of The Last Unicorn too (read by Mr. Beagle, who does a wonderful job.)
