Right or wrong they're titles are among the most "shared" & that makes them nothing. I know plenty of folks who'd love to be able to buy reasonably priced ebooks from Tor (& some of the other big Sci-Fi/Fantasy labels out there). |

Not one title, per se, but I sure would like to see the entire Leisure Horror line of titles (backlist and frontlist) made available as ebooks.
I would sign up for a year's worth - or more- just like they do as advertised for the paper editions near the back of each book. Don |

I agree that I wish Tor would get off the fence and join ebooks. I also wish that all publishers would ebook old titles. Sony has several Piers Anthony, but only Xanth. Where is his other work? Many other authors in the same catagory, both at Sony and at Webscriptions.

I would like to see The Great American Novel by Philip Roth. It is the funniest book I have ever read. Go Ruppert Mundys!

Where the Sidewalk Ends. It would make a beautiful e-book.

I've got a weakness for detective novels by Swedish marxists, so I would like to see all ten of Per Wahloo and Maj Sjowall's 'Martin Beck' series.
It would also be good to see some K Arne Blom, though only two were ever translated to English. |

a lot of old books which are not yet in pd but can be hard to find in paper, like Léo Malet's Nestor Burma detective series, Dorothy L. Sayers, etc.

The first Dorothy L Sayers is available at Project Gutenberg and in our upload section.

yes, i have that one (Sayers was one of the first authors i looked for when i got my eb1150). i mean the others. actually they entered the pd this year in canada i beleive (forgot about that) so with some luck maybe the texts will turn up soon. i have several of them in paper already but the editions are not really nice enough to make me hesitate in replacing them with digital versions (i need the space).

That was absolutely not a legal version. I'd suggest that you contact the seller and complain about being sold an illegal item.

They're still offering them for sale in MS Reader format. I always though PocketGear was a legit seller, but if these books were legit then everyone would be selling them.

PocketGear, as has been mentioned, does sell a lot of games and tools for PDAs and mobile phones. |
