Mistress nekokami, you bring up a tantalizing thought. I have been a member of the Science Fiction Book Club for decades, but I haven't actually purchased anything from them in many years, because I am now pretty much digital book centric.
A couple of years ago SFBC ran an "article" in their mailer (actually it was response from a member) about carrying ebooks. Their response was basically that they were paper book club, and that was just how it was.
I still wish they find a way to use their purchasing power to open up an avenue for ebook distribution. That would be fantastic.
Hell, it would be better than fantastic!
