I believe Wheeler is the senior editor of the SFBC.

He posted a response:

When will the SFBC start carrying electronic versions of these books for the Sony or Irex ebook readers?

No time soon, I'm afraid; the market for e-books is still small and very fragmented, and we don't actually own the rights to do e-books. (So we'd have to pay what would probably be a lot of money to sell a very few e-books.)

We're waiting for the market to shake out, and a solid, clear winner to emerge from the format wars. If and when that ever happens -- and if e-books ever turn into a decent-sized market -- then we'll try to jump into that area.
