They're not legally available in ebook form. You can find them in ebook if you look hard enough though.

^your right, they weren't and still aren't released in ebook form, you might find them if you get lucky but I doubt you will be able to find all of them.

The author & publishers have not licensed any titles in the series yet, and they rigorously sweep the net and shutdown sites claiming to have any in ebook format. Many of them are scam files or incomplete anyway.

Sit down, get away from technology, and enjoy a real book!

I hate that the best books never get to ebook form. They could save so much money and so many trees!

I think that for every pulp book you buy you should be entitled to the ebook version of it.....

Perhaps...but tonight I was re-arranging my books as a friend who moved gave me a really nice, large oak bookshelf (and my fiberboard bookshelves are overloaded), and as I was moving books around (such as the Harry Potter Series, all the Tom Clancy Books, my Composer biographies, and motorcycle books/novels), I just thought about how good a hardcover book feels in your hands, particularly on a chilly Minnesota evening/morning.

I get the idea of eBooks, and the convience. Still...I like books.

And I also like eBay, where I often get hardcover books for less than the price of a new paperback...

I'll weigh in on this becasue I think both formats have their place. I have ton's of books in paper back and hard cover, no exageration and many are autographed, can't do that with an e-book. But I travel some and I love the convience of having litterly hundreds of e-books on a SD card. And I also love having the MS plugin to convert word documents to a LIT format so I can take multiple documents with me for work purposes. I love a hardback book but the cost of the things keep going out of sight and I can get more value for my money with the e-format.

So I think both have their place.

You can't beat the convenience of being able to carry around a number of books. I also like that I can catch up on a couple of pages in the dark while my hubby is sleeping.

Plus, I read a lot of paperbacks and after a while you have no more room for bookshelves!! LOL

I love the feel of a "real" book, but it's really nice to have 40-50 e-books on my Axim.

I always keep a nice selection of different genres on mine.

P2P is my source.

The sheer lack of books and the trouble involved just to get one has put me off buying any form of DRMed media.
