Then I went to Amazon, only to find out that there are few paper books currently in print of these series! I always click on the "Please publish an eBook button". It's effortless, and can't hurt.

One day I'll buy the paper books I can, but so far I've just read other things.
Same for Margery Allingham. it looks like a small publisher has made a deal to publish very nice paperbacks of her Campion books. The price is 15 bucks, 10 at Amazon. So why not sell an ebook version for the same 10 bucks, and sell more, overall? Beats me...
