I've found Fall of Giants on Kobobooks. Don't know why I couldn't before. But Empire of Silver still doesn't show up in a search there. As she/we haven't even used the Kobo yet (still wrapped), I don't know enough about the process of downloading books to be able to find them elsewhere, convert file types, etc. I'm sure I'll learn the art soon enough after the holidays
Anyway, my question as to whether ebooks are held back for a while seems to have been answered, I think
. It seems the answer is maybe - some are available at the same time as the hard cover, some later. Some never???
Thanks to those who responded.
