TOR came to an agreement to offer books on the webscription site a while back. And as you can see at webscriptions.net, the first batch of TOR eBooks made it onto the webscriptions site. Then someone high-up in TOR's parent company found out what was going on (selling eBooks with no DRM at decent prices) and put an immediate stop to it. The books remain on the site (for those who bought them in the short window they were available), but are no longer for sale.
Off Armagedon Reef is a special case because the author negotiated some special terms in his contract. But the price is a lot higher than normal.
TOR & parent company are still in discussions about making eBooks available through webscriptions.net, but I believe there are some legal problems holding things up.
I wish they would hurry up!

The Baen site, Webscriptions, TOR. A total of 12 titles, only 1 of which can be added to the shopping cart. And it's one of the titles they've already given away, for free. |
