Probably because Harper Collins doesn't have it *yet*... the publication date is listed as 4/14/2009. It has a "buy it" button but the ebook didn't wind up in my shopping cart.

So I then noticed the publication date.

So I decided to look for another title to test their Mobipocket support for Kindle 2 and my gaze settled upon Jailbait Zombie but alas I can't get that one into my shopping cart either! So I'm thinking their site isn't Mac friendly.

UPDATE: just noticed Jailbait Zombie Kindle Edition on Amazon for less than the Harper Collins price. Now did I want the ebook for testing or reading? But the good news is that perhaps they'll pick up the Zen ebook as well when it hits it's publication date.

I was looking for this book on Amazon earlier today.

If I buy the book from Harper will the .mobi have DRM?

If so, would this workaround work for the Kindle 2:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17239

Alternatively,

Should I buy it in the Microsoft Reader format, run it through Convert LIT, and then through Calibre?

Thanks.

I don't know the answer to that question. You would have to look at Harpars site to see if it has DRM or not. If it does have DRM and they use the Overdrive servers and not the Mobipocket servers then you should be able to used KindleFIX on it. Yes.

Amazon has it listed with a release date of 04/21/09. You can pre-order it for $7.99 now and it will be auto delivered then.

Thanks for this thread. Time for a reread of this one. Now how about Kesey's Sometimes a Great Notion in ebook form?
