I've never been able to get into the Clancy books myself, but I'm re-reading the Wheel of Time books at the moment. I tried to start re-read the Sword of Truth books from the beginning and realized, wow, these books are kinda boring...Especially when I realize it's been SOOO long since I read from the first book of them to Naked Empire (8th book). Goodkind just keeps dragging out the series and not making much headway with it. But I am always on the look out for other series. Currently have all the Terry Brooks books (Shannara, Heritage, Landover, Voyage of Jerle Shannara, and Word & Void) except for Tanequil, haven't had a chance to read them yet...maybe I'll read them next instead of re-reading what I've got and know and love...

Oh, and still impatiently awaiting 7th and final Dark Tower book :drools:

If you're looking for other good/great series type books, try:

- J.V. Jones (The Book of Words Series) (The Sword of Shadows Series)
- Robert Newcomb (The Chronicles of Blood and Stone Series)
- Raymond E. Feist ( The Conclave of Shadows Series)
- Rick Shelley (The Varayan Memoirs)
- Robin Hobb (The Tawny Man Trilogy) (The Farseer Series)
- David B. Coe (The Lobtobyn Chronicles)

Some were not the best, but, they definitely kept me interested.

Yes, authors like Clancy, Rowling and Grisham have in interviews declared that they will not allow their books published as ebooks. Rowling declared it was on advice from her lawyer.

Luckily, authors such as Crichton, Gibson, Silverberg, Preston/Child to mention a few are available as ebooks from for example Fictionwise.

I have some from Grisham and Clancy so maybe they changed their mind.

beer980, where did you buy them?

There are undoubtedly somewhere on the Internet illegally OCR'ed books by any popular author, especially if the books are not available for sale. I read somewhere that a Harry Potter book were scanned, OCRed and prooofread out before the printed one (published different days in different countries).
