So it all depends on who wins the current agency battle, Hachette or the bookstores.
Any update on when the Hachette books might be back? I want to buy some Alexander McCall Smith as I'm half way through a series.

Very annoying - may force me to buy a kindle as they are available on Amazon. And as another thread says, you need a representative sample of ereaders!
