No. If praised, by paid identified reviewers, in mainstream newspapers and magazines, they do. This is true of the paper book, and true of the eBook -- if it exists.

I guess it depends on your definition of an imprint and a publisher. Createspace functions include printing, and, in cooperation with the rest of Amazon.com, Inc., publicity, distribution, cover design, and paying royalties. Of course, CreateSpace/Amazon doesn't do all imprint/publisher functions.

For someone who always talks about his love of non-fiction and research based books, I'm surprised that you don't do more research into things that are important to you.

I do miss a lot, but I knew that. It's been more than six months since the print version of
Pioneer Girl hit number two on a NY Times bestseller list, and its small publisher still has not come out with an eBook. And, when they do, it
sounds likely to have fancy features that won't work with eInk and in which we have no interest. A big-five publisher would have eInk available for both consumers and libraries.
