One of the reasons the publisher has been able to go along with the ebook release is because I promised to do the layout/zip files/etc for them.
(Apart from the Hal Spacejock books, I'm also the programmer behind yBook, the freeware paperback emulator for Windows PCs. I've been working with ebooks for years, so my publisher was happy to stand back and let me get involved. That doesn't often happen, because publishers are even worse control freaks than your average author.)
Anyway, I've emailed them the zip files for all three Hal books (Second Course, Just Desserts and No Free Lunch) so they can check them over, and that means I've done my side of things. They're the ones putting together the ordering/payment/download system, and as soon as I get the go-ahead I'll let you know.
Cheers
Simon
