I agree that there are some publishers that have ignored the ebook route! I have inquired from the author that I wanted, and it depends on the publisher- so I've gone to the publisher and made a request- also to the stores... Fictionwise is especially good about getting requests. I've found several authors that I wouldn't have if I had stuck to paperbacks (Australian authors- for one- I see now that paperbacks of that particular author are available, but I was a couple of years ahead of that!)
