Yes, and I actually have the pBook compilation of the three of them here. But the only one currently digitized is Alice. They really are fun reads - I've gone ahead and bought the eBook, even though I have it in pBook format. The reality is, I hardly ever read for pleasure except on my Kindle these days.

Ok, I will third both Alice and True Story with my two remaining votes.
That will get everyone in before the deadline. |

Please don't vote for Alice, Let's Eat because if it is any good and we want to read the rest, we can't (not in eBook). That just crap and the publisher should be taken to task for this botch job.

Why is it that some publishers feel it's OK to only publish some books in a series as eBooks and not bother to publish the entire series?

Cuz if they get you hooked, you'll go buy the rest of the series anyway --- even if it's in physical form? [However, I always buy the $0.01 used books, with shipping bringing it to $4, so the publisher doesn't benefit.]

Oooh, ooh, is it too late to nominate something? I just heard about an author I want an excuse to buy, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, "The Yarn Harlot". A knitter who is funny about knitting! I can't wait.
