You could always ask the publisher and see what they say.

That's because Harlequin's got their sh*t together and know that ebooks are a huuuuge market for them. So they didn't waste any time digitizing all new books and their backlist.

If Harlequin published "Rebecca," it would certainly be available as an ebook.

They actually edit those OCR scans now?

Sorry, did not realise that was a pirate site. They disguise it as an authorised site well and charge around the same amount as authorised sites for many books.

I just checked the Amazon UK site and it lists Rebecca in Kindle format. Nothing on the USA site yet.
