Sure Fictionwise has done their multiformat books, but Baen's folks may not have realized that yet, and may still consider it too big a job to undertake in the short term. Especially when RTF works pretty well on the PRS line. 
The Kindle thing is a different animal, since Kindle handles unlocked mobi files just fine, all they had to do was relabel the files they already had and they were done. I wouldn't be surprised if that only took a few hours. |
Heck, I've got converted versions of every WebScriptions monthly bundle book that's up in final form. And many of the non-bundled books too. I'd be happy to burn a data DVD and just mail it off to Arnold. He'd have to get up to speed with the conversions for future months, but would get the back conversions for free.
In fact, I'll drop him an email with this offer right now. We'll see what happens...
