Yes, but the advantage of an ebook is the impulse buy, and the instant satisfaction. Dan Brown is a part of the potboiler, romance/mystery/sci-fi series gravy train, so people are going to buy his book. The electronic version is just easier to buy, and faster. It takes maximum advantage of they hype and the publicity.
