Roald Dahl
Speaking of famous childrens' books authors whose works are not currently offered in eBook form...

...does anyone know when/if/how Roald Dahl's works might be offered?

Not that I can find anywhere. The audiobooks exist on Inkmesh search, but no eBooks. And yes, it makes me want to cry, too. Matilda would be so disappointed.

Well my Google skills don't help much. All I can find are illegal copies available for download. No news on legal releases.

They're available in the UK too (from the same pub Puffin/Penguin his US pbooks have albeit I'm sure there's a UK and US division).

I hope they do release them as ebooks, but his books will always have a place on my shelf. They're magic.

I'll never understand geo-restrictions. If they could license the books in UK/Canada, then why can't they do so in the US? Baffles me.

Welcome in the crazy world of geo-restiction.

I can't remember what buying a book without having to lie about where I live feels like
