I know we've had this discussion before, but again: How much time and money could it possibly take? I know that Jeffrey Carver insists that it isn't as easy as proofreading and converting the electronic versions they already have as submitted by the author - and I do know that most authors these days submit in electronic format, I asked Dana Stabenow about it. Even the older titles in this series are not old enough to have been done before email submission was common. So, the publishers already HAVE an electronic form of the book - how much more effort can it take them to convert it and get it submitted to the stores than it takes us to convert and submit PG material for Mobileread? I know Patricia and the ones that do the PG conversions here work hard at them, but it doesn't take them forever. The Albert Payson Terhune works only took Patricia a couple of weeks after I asked for them to have them uploaded, and I don't know how long after I asked that she started them.
