This month 3 books by 3 of my SF/Fantasy favorite authors were released in hardcover and I purchased all of them at my local B&N.

But I really love reading on my Sony Reader so I decided to try to find ebook versions that I would also purchase. I quickly found Harry Turtledove's Man With the Iron Heart -- but only at the Sony Connect store, not at Fictionwise. The price was fine for a new release (only out a couple of weeks), $12.60.

But I couldn't find anywhere either Weber's By Schism Rent Asunder or LE Modesitt's Mage-Guard of Hamor. Considering that Weber seems to be an ebook proponent, does anyone have a suspicion as to why the e-book version isn't available?

Also, what I found surprising was that if the Turtledove book is available at Sony, why Fictionwise didn't have it. Any ideas?
