Ask Thomas Pynchon about e-books and see why it's not a given that 2666 will be a legit e-book despite the above being absolutely true. As mentioned illegit Spanish e-books of his work should be very easy to find, though sadly I do not really read that language.

Savage Detectives is also superb, but 2666 is a true masterpiece of world literature and I hope this US edition that seems to have some buzz behind, will get the posthumous recognition for Mr. Bolano in the English speaking world that he has in the Spanish speaking world.
