You're mistaken in claiming that these are not available as ebooks. Most, if not all, are.
I myself hope that one day, the Gardener edition of Ulysses will be available as a Kindle ebook with page numbers...

I'm not sure what you mean by "the Gardener edition", but this version is available, and it apparently does have page numbers: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67080

Do you mean the Gabler edition? I'm not familiar with a Gardener edition.

If you don't even read this thread your wish cannot be too urgent, I guess...

And, as issybird said, it's the Gabler edtion (or Garland, if you want to go by publisher.)

Gabler Gardener, at least they are both critics...
And I find it peculiar that this edition would be available here for free considering that it contains heavy editorial work that _should_ still be copyrighted... Or am I seeing something wroing here....?

Virginia Lanier's Bloodhound series. I think the last two are in ebook because that clause was in those later books, but the earliest in the series didn't account for ebooks. She was in her 90s when she finished the last one and it was a few years before ebooks took off. If anyone at the estate is paying any attention to the books, they don't appear to have sold the e-rights and they don't appear to be bringing the books to ebook.

I would certainly like to have Stephan Grundy's Rhinegold and Gilgamesh as ebooks.

I have both as pbooks but with somewhat small text.

Rhinegold is an outstanding fantasy based in the Wagnerian universe.

I haven't yet read the Gilgamesh.

I have made several searches for the books, if I have overlooked them don't hesitate to correct me.

Haven't noticed a whole lot of hesitation to correct people around here.

Gabler’s Ulysses text is (unlike his editorial remarks) not copyrighted in the EU because it was published during the 70-year protection period and became public domain in 2012 like everything else by Joyce that was (re-)published before 2012. For the US it’s different.

ETA: The page numbers in my variorum edition are from the first edition, of course, not from the Garland volumes.

Hey that's good to know, seems plausible, it's Joyce's text after all...

Most of the juvenile and young adult fiction I still love to read by the favourite authors of my youth. The publisher which holds the rights to those books still doesn't believe in ebooks.

The short story anthologies from Playboy. They really did publish some quality fiction with authors like Roald Dahl, Richard Matheson, Ray Bradbury, Shirley Jackson, John Updike, Jack Kerouac, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Vladimir Nabokov, Norman Mailer, Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut, Margaret Atwood, Ian Fleming, and others.

Specifically:

Playboy Stories: The Best of Forty Years of Short Fiction

The Playboy Book of Horror and the Supernatural

The Playboy Book of Science Fiction and Fantasy


Also Michael Moorcock's The Cornelius Chronicles: The Final Programme / A Cure for Cancer / The English Assassin / The Condition of Muzak

That is a long wait! I doubt there'll still be paperbooks by then (if we even still exist then!)
