It's nice that they're starting but I was browsing the catalog yesterday and was disappointed. I compared the prices with Renaud-Bray's prices for printed copies. Some of them were only 2$ cheaper at 27$ instead of 29$ for the printed one. This will have a negative effect on their sales, there's no reason to sell it the same price when they don't incur the same costs for printing and distributing. Many people won't buy them because they will feel they're being ripped
Then there's a problem with the offer. Most writers from Quebec don't publish eBook versions yet, last week I saw a representative of Jelis.ca on TV who was saying they're working on convincing local writers to make the jump. In the meantime most of the offer is from France.
And unfortunately, best sellers from big american writers like Stephen King or Robert Ludlum aren't available in french ebooks.
