Incidentally, I posted a note in response to Patrick Nielsen Hayden's blog entry giving the repost of the collected freebies on the Tor.com site, mentioning the folks who wanted to
buy ebooks from Tor, like other volumes in the Scalzi and Wright series. I got the following reply:
Quote:
Dennis: no, actually, Tor parent company Macmillan is actively converting all titles to which we have digital rights. It really is just a matter of time before the majority of our library is available in e-book form.
The brief flap over the Baen deal seems to have convinced several years' worth of fannish commentators that there's some kind of dire drama going on behind the scenes where Tor and e-books are concerned. There really isn't. There are issues of workflow and rights, just as there are everywhere else. I think you'll see lots more e-books in lots more formats in the next few months.

The original thread is
here.
Patrick is Senior Editor and Editorial Director at Tor, and this can be taken as authoritative. So patience, all...
