Major authors starting to look favorably on e-books
Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Rita Toews, founder of Read an E=Book Week:
World-renowned author, Warren Adler has added his support to Read an E-Book Week. Mr. Adler, author of some 29 books — including War of the Roses which became a movie directed by Danny DeVito, caused a stir in the literary world some years back when he re-acquired the rights to all his novels and short stories. He then converted his complete backlist to e-books.
Mr. Adler’s thoughts on the publishing industry vis-a-vis e-books can be found in an article on the main page of the Read an E-Book Week website http://www.ebookweek.com
ON ANOTHER NOTE: the list of authors (John Grisham being the latest) and publishers converting their print books to e-book is growing rapidly. I’ve heard a suggestion that perhaps it’s time for BEA Book Expo America to have an area for e-books and e-book reading devices at their shows. The suggestion seems valid since I can’t find mention of e-books on the Book Expo website.
