It seems that the Norwegian book industry have no interest to take part in the e-book development. There's no commitment to release Norwegian authors in e-book formats.
Why?
The publishing industry has too many fingers in the cookie jar and stand to loose money when the same book is offered electronically.
The publishers in Norway have indicated that they wish to charge more or less the same price for the e-book as that of the paperback. Good luck with that. All that will happen is that people start to read more foreign authors, turning their backs on the domestic market.
