None of the five Giller Prize short-list books are for sale in the US in paper. Most of these are specialty small press or the US deal was completed relatively recently and have been slotted in for Spring release. None of this is unusual -- we are not talking mega authors here -- four of the five are first-time authors (in this format; many have been writing for years).

Lost in this story is how Kobobooks stepped up the day the Giller Shortlist was released (mid-October) and facilitated the immediate ebook release of all five titles. This included working with some publishers with no ebook program at all.
