Maybe that’s what ebooks need — more big name authors going dig­i­tal. Danielle Steele has recently decided to go dig­i­tal. I don’t know how exten­sive Danielle Steele’s back­list is but 71 titles will be avail­able in ebook this month (Feb 24). You GO girl. sony-ebook-reader-thumb1

Also:

In recent weeks, John Grisham and Tom Clancy also have agreed to allow their nov­els to come out as e-books, a tiny, but quickly grow­ing market

I’ve already seen Clancy’s ebooks at a few of the etail­ers I fre­quent. Ebooks may make up a tiny share of the mar­ket but soon that will change. Repeat after me: ebooks are the future. I’m not say­ing that print should die. I’m just advo­cat­ing that ebooks should be viewed as a viable option and that pub­lish­ers should stop treat­ing that for­mat like some evil, red headed step-child.
