Well, I couldn't wait. They found MY price. I just wish it was EPUB, but if the rumors are true, I'll be able to download the EPUB version when the switch happens.

I just now noticed that Margaret Atwood's Year of the Flood is available only in the US at Sony's eBook Store.

This is a well known Canadian author that is not going to make it to the eBook Stores "Canadian Bestsellers" list if it isn't available in Canada. My hopes of the price dropping to $9.99 in the near future have been dashed.

WDE.

I assume that it's due to her popularity in her own country. They, the publishers??, want to sell as many hardcovers as they can in Canada before releasing the eBook to maximize profits. Plus, it would rocket to the eBook Store "Canadian Bestsellers' list and they would have to price it at $9.99. This strategy sucks.

Shortcovers has the US and Canadian versions of the Year of the Floor in epub format. http://shortcovers.com/search/search...20the%20flood&

It's a little over $16.00 for both versions though.

Thanks for finding a copy. That's $18.99 CAD. I was hoping it would make the bestsellers list and come down to $9.99 US. I may just wait a few months now until Sony converts to ePub before I buy.

Well supposedly you will be able to re-download in epub later, but that doesn't help you if you don't currently have a Sony Reader.

BTW, I'm finishing up "Homer and Langley" and will read this one next!!!

You might want to wait a month or so. Sometimes I've noticed that popular authors wait a few weeks before releasing the e:format in Canada. It's happened a few times in the past - stick it in your wishlist for a month.

Ditto - and the Kindle edition dropped to 9.99 within a week or so of its release.
